AMMAN (AP)--Jordan's military prosecution has indicted 15 suspects, including five fugitives, for allegedly plotting terrorist attacks against U.S. and Iraqi forces in the neighboring war-ravaged country.

The 15 men - Jordanians and Palestinians aged between 22 to 36 - were slapped with four charges, including the illegal possession of automatic weapons and ammunition and planning actions which could harm relations with an unnamed foreign country.

Sounds like Jordan might be getting a clue that if THEY won't take action to stop the terrorists, they might find themselves a target on the US radar.

True. But this is a classic situation in which Jordan can pick their poison.

"The problem s if they do, they become the target of Al-Qaeda."

That happens to every ally of the US. I don't see it as a problem but a choice---a good one.
