Jordan Arrests Syrian in Aqaba Rocket Attack
(New York Times) Hassan M. Fattah - The Jordanian government said Monday that it had arrested Muhammad Hassan al-Sihli, a Syrian, as a prime suspect in the rocket attack on two American warships last week in Aqaba. Sihli, who was in charge of planning the attack, was part of a terrorist cell that included three Iraqis. The cell was reported to be directed by an unidentified insurgent group in Iraq. Earlier this month, the men smuggled seven Katyusha rockets from Iraq into Jordan.
