Jordanian police storm castle, free tourists, operation continuing: security source
A former government minister from Karak city, Sameeh Maaytah, said there were signs Islamist militants may have been behind the attack but the government has so far steered away from saying this...
Jordan is one of the few Arab states that have taken part in a U.S.-led air campaign against Islamic State militants holding territory in Syria. But many Jordanians oppose their country's involvement, saying it has led to the killing of fellow Muslims and raised security threats inside Jordan.
Officials worry about radical Islam's growing profile in Jordan and support in impoverished areas for militant groups.

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Monte, what do you think you're doing picking that as the first post in a thread titled "Castle in Jordan under siege"? There's a conspicious lack of trebuchets up in here...

Jordan like Israel have been relatively peaceful. That's why. And because there's so many of you.

Jordan sounds like a place that Hash would visit. Although, I once heard that he wanted to go to North Korea- why I don't know.ssu wrote:They say Canadian.
