It was William LaGennesse of Fox reporting from Jordan. The info was given by a Muslim cleric who had been told of this by people in the town.
Fox showed tape of the cleric - repeating it again now.

I believe "Shiite" is the proper spelling. "Shitte" is the French position on Iraq.

There was some speculation on Fox last night that the bomber wasn't even aware that he had a bomb. It may have been remote detonated. (Kinda reminds me of the Al Qaeda "muscle" Bin Laden joked about later on who didn't know that they were on a suicide mission.)

Where is Agence France Presse?

Those Jihad supporters at AFP apparently dropped the ball on this one.

Words fail to describe the depth of this evil.
