If your eyes are burning maybe you should get further away now? Perhaps a wet cloth over the eyes would block the fumes better?

Jordan says it has foiled plot to kill 4 American archeologists

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) - Prosecutors levelled charges against two suspected Jordanian terrorists after police foiled a plan to kill four American archeologists, security officials said Wednesday.

Jamil Mohammed Kutkut, 27, and Ibrahim Mohammed Zein al-Abedeen, better known by Jihad al-Qashah, 36, were charged with plotting to commit terrorist acts, illegal possession of automatic weapons and infiltrating Jordanian territories. Prosecutors issued the charges recently, but it was unclear when.

No details were available on the American targets of the plot, which police say they foiled when they arrested Kutkut on Oct. 17. Al-Abedeen allegedly fled to Syria.

Officials suspect both men of belonging to a group headed by Abu-Musab al-Zarqawi and linked to al-Qaida.

Al-Zarqawi, 38, also heads the al-Qaida in Iraq and is wanted for involvement in numerous attacks against U.S. and Iraqi security forces.

A charge sheet drawn up by Jordanian prosecutors alleges al-Abedeen approached Kutkut to carry a military attack against four Americans archeologists working in the town of Hartha, near Irbid, 90 kilometres north of the capital, Amman.

Kutkut allegedly accepted the mission, cased the area and a school where the archeologists lived, and gave al-Abedeen a Kalashnikov automatic weapon with ammunition.

But al-Abedeen allegedly fled to Syria because Jordanian officials want him in connection with another foiled plot, this one involving al-Zarqawi and 10 other terror suspects to carry out chemical and conventional attacks in Jordan, the charge sheet said.

It was unclear when al-Abedeen went to Syria or when the trial against him and Kutkut would begin. If convicted, both face the death penalty.

Another freeper recommended a snorkle mask (which we have) and I'm going to go do that now. Not sure if burning eyes are allergies or what, but I can't let anything affect my eyesight.

So now I'll be a pajamahadeen in a snorkle mask. LOL
