Canada and Australia close embassies in Jordan
The Canadian and Australian embassy in Jordan today shut their doors to the public because of an undisclosed security threat a day after Britain closed its embassy in Amman for the same reason, diplomats said.

''The two embassies closed until further notice due to the security situation. It's possibly related to the same security threat received by the British embassy,'' one Western diplomat who requested anonymity told Reuters.

Britain closed its embassy in Jordan yesterday because of fears of attacks on Westerners. Jordanian authorities said the closure was unnecessary.

The move comes two months after triple suicide bomb attacks on luxury hotels in Amman killed more than 50 people. Al Qaeda in Iraq, led by Jordanian Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, claimed responsibility.

4. Each al-Qaeda leader has always been focused
on "liberating" his own homeland. Zawhiri has been focused on Egypt. Bin Laden has been focused on Saudi Arabia. And, Zarqawi has been focused on Jordan.

5. And all three regimes are vulnerable.
Each is ruled by corrupt tyrants. The entire region is unstable. The madness Bush has unleashed with his stupid invasion of Iraq has just gotten started.

7. Jordan is starting to pay for their part in the Carnage they facilitated
.
.
.

as will everyone connected to the USA invasion, occupation and massacre in Iraq

I would be suprised if this is resolved in a century -

Generations of Iraqis will quite rightfully avenge the deaths of their loved ones slaughtered by the USA's WarMachine . .

and the one's that will suffer for generations as a result of the poisonous depleted uranium spread all over their land . .

The Iraqis will not forget . .

But the USA population will,

and be so ever suprized when the "insurgency" erupts in the USA

but these people seeking to avenge loved ones will be called "terrorists"

and the USA's murderous cycle will continue

(sigh)
