Rockets Fired from Jordan Target U.S. Ships, Israeli Airport
(CNN) One Jordanian soldier was killed and a second severely wounded Friday in a rocket attack apparently targeting U.S. ships in the Jordanian Red Sea port of Aqaba, officials said. Three Katyusha rockets were fired from a warehouse in Aqaba close to the port, a Jordanian government statement said. The warehouse had been rented a few days ago by four people of Iraqi and Egyptian descent. One rocket flew over the bow of the USS Ashland and struck a warehouse used by the Jordanian military. A second missile landed near a military hospital in Aqaba. The third landed in the neighboring Israeli city of Eilat just east of the city's airport.
