One of three missiles fired from Jordan (search) narrowly missed a U.S. Navy ship docked at port on Friday but the attack left one Jordanian soldier dead and another wounded.

Another missile fell close to an airport in neighboring Israel, officials said. A Jordanian security official said another missile landed near a Jordanian hospital.

The U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet (search), based in Bahrain, said two American amphibious ships were docked in Aqaba when a mortar was fired toward them. The vessels later sailed out of port as a result of the attacks, U.S. Navy spokesman Lt. Cdr. Charlie Brown told The Associated Press in Bahrain.

Wouldn't that be an act of war???

"It reminds you almost of the Cole attack," said Mark Ginsberg, a former U.S. ambassador, referring to the October 2000 attack on the U.S. Navy ship, the USS Cole.

"From press reports, it appears it was Syrians and two Iraqis with a Kuwaiti license plate that had these rockets," Ginsberg told FOX News. "Where do you get these rockets in the Middle East? From Hezbollah (search) or Iran. The Iranians are the biggest supplier of these rockets to Hezbollah."

Looks like the players are all lined up.

I doubt they were fired by the Jordanian military.

Perhaps satellite photos may establish where the rocket fire emanated from.....if the satellite was in the right spot at the right time.

I'm sure photos are being examined as we type.

Appears to be about the appropriate response and the only one that the rags will understand.

I guess Iran will have to learn the hard way.
