Is Jordan Al Qaeda's next
'front'?
Zarqawi's Al Qaeda in Iraq group claims Friday's rocket
attack on US ships.
By Matthew Clark | csmonitor.com
Jordanian authorities announced Monday that they had
arrested a "prime suspect" in the rocket attack on two US
warships in the Jordanian port of Aqaba, reports The New
York Times.
Friday's attack missed the two US vessels moored in Aqaba
for training exercises, but killed one Jordanian soldier and
severely wounded another. It was the most serious attempt
to harm Western interests in Jordan since US diplomat
Lawrence Foley was murdered in the capital of Amman in
2002.
Hours after Jordan announced the suspect's arrest, Al
Qaeda in Iraq headed by now-infamous Jordanian militant,
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi claimed responsibility for the
attack by posting a statement on the Internet.
"Your brothers in the Al Qaeda Organization in
Iraq have been planning the Aqaba raid for a
while," said the statement. "The rockets were
fired at their targets -- a group of ships
belonging to the crusader American forces ...."
"We would like to tell you that we delayed
claiming this attack so that our brothers could
complete their withdrawal ... and they returned
safely to their base."
Zarqawi's group has vowed to punish Jordan's rulers for
"aiding the treacherous enemy America."
Jordan identified the suspect as
Mohammad Abdullah Hassan
al-Sihly, a Syrian citizen who lived
in Amman, reports CNN.
The government
statement said al-Sihly
entered Jordan in December
2004 after being wounded
in Iraq....
His sons, Abdullah and
Abdulrahman, and
Mohammed Hameed Hassan
al-Iraqi also known as Abu
Mukhtar entered Jordan in
early August, smuggling
seven Katyusha rockets
into the country.
Three were fired in Friday's
attack on the amphibious
assault ship USS Kearsarge
and the amphibious
transport USS
Ashland, authorities
said.
The group rented a
warehouse in an
industrial district of
Aqaba, Jordan's Red
Sea port, and set a
timer to launch the
rockets Friday
morning. Al-Sihly's
sons and Abu Mukhtar
returned to Iraq after
setting the rockets to
fire, Jordan's
government said.
The group was in
"direct contact" with
leaders in Iraq, who
were kept informed on
their progress, the
government said.
"The government report sketched the outlines of a carefully
planned attack that relied on precise intelligence, weapons
training, and a smuggling run across the border from Iraq,
and that hinted at the presence of at least some logistical
help within Jordan," the Times reports.
Even before the rocket attack on Friday, alarm
bells had been ringing in the halls of Jordan's
security establishment over the possibility that
Iraqi insurgents were operating within Jordan.
"It was clear, Jordan was in the eye of the
storm," said Samir Habashneh, who until April
was Jordan's interior minister. "The ground was
fertile for an attack."
The Times points out that "Jordan has thwarted several
planned attacks in recent years, and it has blamed
Zarqawi's organization for several."
Reuters cites security experts as saying that the Aqaba
attack "may be a signal [Zarqawi] has opened a new front
against Washington's closest Arab ally (Jordan)."
"Zarqawi appreciates more than ever that by
hitting the US military in Jordan he would score
not just a symbolic victory but maybe disrupt a
hitherto safe supply route for the US army into
bases in the western desert (of Iraq)," said one
intelligence expert and official who requested
anonymity.
Jordan denies providing logistical backing to
Washington's military campaign though the US
military have said in briefings it has used the
country as a main supply route.
The Saudi English-language daily Arab News posits the
following in an editorial about Jordan as a possible new
front for Al Qaeda:
For the American military, this latest outrage
demonstrates the complexity and
ever-changing nature of the task they have set
themselves in eradicating terror in Iraq. They
must now plan for the possibility that any of
their naval ships, tied up in any port in the
region, could come under attack from the
shore. This could produce a policy of
replenishment at sea with US vessels hardly
ever docking. If that turns out to be the case,
it will be another small but nevertheless telling
victory for the terrorists and will once again put
the US on the back foot in a fight, the difficulty
of which it underestimated from the beginning.

There are 20 links to the above photo on this web page:
A bad case of redundancy I guess.
Dr. Bill Wattenberg filled in last night and is again tonight, until 10 pm Calif. time.
I do not know if he will be on tomorrow or not.

Whole lot of jihad (Islamic Media) terrorist videos here:
Well, maybe he wants a Christmas present?

THANKS for the links Oorang
Yep, I took it out and pasted it on the browser and it worked.
That pega7 reminds me of something...I wonder if this is an
updated and/or used to link to meshawir site?
Oh that was it, the pegay jihad (jehad).
ON THE NET...

Your're welcome Cindy. I'm glad you got the pegay jihad link to work. Don't know what happened there.
ON THE NET...
http://clearinghouse.infovlad.net/printthread.php?t=65
I don't know if pega7 is pegay jihad, but from my alta vista search, I see a connection in a summary and also a sout link, etc.
I remember because I think of Pegusis (sp?) when I was looking at it back then.
Rambling...back to looking at this.
THANKS Oorang.
Well, when I was on the pega7 site, at the bottom of my browser it said peggy jihad so it probably is.
Thanks for that link Ex-S. Wonder why it was deleted from FR?
Your find has to be a go order.
In the gun photo, did you notice the 5 guns with white slashes on the barrel, they are like this on the right.
1-0-111-0-1 (the 1 are white slash, the 0 no slash)
Are we back to DC5 again?
Same photo, to me it appears that there are photo or designs in the upper panels of the doors. Keep in mind that I only
see about half of what your eyes see, so, it is possible that I see things that are not there or also things that you are distracted from seeing, if you can see it all.
Under the key lock in the door, is a dark splash, I see a
prisoner, bound, with a sack on his head.
You say there are 20 links, that has some meaning, but I am not sure what it is, unless it is the cell number or how many guns to send.
The second photo, the mosque, has the same horse photo as you linked in 2919, but I almost cannot see it, but the sword and bomb are faintly there.
When the mosque is fully loaded, in the middle of the page, there are 2 panels of moving horses, one is a single colt that keeps crossing the screen, the other I can barely see, so I cannot count the horses.
I saw Lion - OBL and horses in the poem, and more need to go back and read it many more times.
I am distracted, all the muslims in San Francisco are taking on Dr. Bill tonight, it is lively, as he will not be proven wrong in what he says, comes from knowing his subject.
Guess it is telephone jihadii.
Wow, that jihad (forum) and Jihad's scrapbook were, um, interesting. Thanks much for posting MamaD.
Well, instead of knocking myself out, I'll go back to that page.
Thanks Oorang.

Excellent search results on yahoo. They have such "unique" photo albums. Nothing like the family photos I collect.
