Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Senior Jordian security, religious advisors resign
2005-11-15
Eleven top Jordanian officials, including the kingdom's national security adviser, resigned Tuesday in the wake of last week's triple hotel bombings, state-run TV announced. Also, a fourth American died from wounds suffered in the attacks, a U.S. Embassy official said.

Jordan also introduced strict security measures aimed at foreigners and said it was drafting the country's first anti-terror specific legislation to prevent more such attacks.

King Abdullah II appointed Marouf al-Bakhit, Amman's ambassador to
Israel, to replace outgoing security chief Saad Kheir, a former head of Jordan's intelligence department.

No details were given for the resignation of Kheir and 10 others, including prominent religious advisers to Abdullah, but a limited shake-up had been expected.

The moves came as more details emerged about the 35-year-old Iraqi woman who failed in her bid to blow herself up in an Amman hotel, with friends saying she had three brothers killed by U.S. forces.

#2  She needs to be banished to France. She can get medical care, food, housing, and psychological assistance to help her get over PTICODTBS (Post Traumatic I Chickened out Detanating The Bomb Syndrome). Jacques will give her a medal.

Heck Prince Charles might marry her.
