Two people have been killed in a car bomb explosion in Amman, which reportedly happened near the home of a high-ranking anti-terrorism investigator. The two passers-by, a 17-year-old Egyptian and a 24-year-old Iraqi, were killed as the blast ripped through a densely-populated area of the Jabal Amman neighbourhood. The car belonged to Yasmin Burjak, the wife of Lt Col Ali Burjak of the Jordanian Government's Anti-Terrorism Unit. It was parked near the couple's house and had been triggered by a timing device. "This appears to be a message to the Jordanian security apparatus at this crucial time," he said, in reference to Jordan's support for the US-led war on terror.
Mr Burjak was highly involved in an investigation which led to the trial of 28 men charged with conspiracy to carry out terror attacks on US and Israeli targets in Jordan during the millennium celebrations.
