Iraqis detained for plotting to bomb Hyatt Amman Hotel

Four Iraqi nationals have been detained in Jordan for allegedly conspiring to blow up the Grand Hyatt Amman Hotel in the kingdom’s capital. Since the outbreak of war in neighboring Iraq, the luxury hotel was turned into a beehive of foreign journalists.

In addition, many Americans are currently residing in two adjacent tower blocks, reported AFP. Jordanian authorities have recently also expelled five Iraqi diplomats for supposedly plotting to poison water supplies to the military bases near the Iraqi border.

Grand Hyatt Amman is located in the heart of the capital's business and diplomatic district. It includes 316 rooms and linked to the Hyatt Tower and Zara Expo, the city’s conference and exhibition center. — (menareport.com)

I'm amazed at how many of these Iraqis, and other brands of terrorists, are captured/arrested before they can follow through with their plots. Every day there are new reports of terrorists being arrested who were plotting this evil scheme or that. I'm beginning to believe that when they ARE successful, it's gotta be dumb luck because they have got to be the stupidist people on the planet.
