Jordan, a key US ally in the Middle East, has long been regarded as a prime target for attacks by radical Islamic militants, correspondents say. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/4423008.stm AMMAN, Jordan (CNN) -- Three nearly simultaneous explosions occurred Wednesday inside hotels frequented by westerners in downtown Amman, killing at least 18 people and wounding 120 others, said Karim Kawar, the Jordanian ambassador to the United States. The blasts went off nearly simultaneously, between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. (2 p.m. and 3 p.m. ET), two of them in or near the lobbies of the Days Inn and the Radisson, a police officer told CNN. http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/11/09/jordan.blasts/index.html Dear List Members, Dasha: Ve/Sa/Me/Mo/Ra.
