Al Qaeda Claims Amman Blasts

According to a an unverified statement on an Islamist website, Al Qaeda in Iraq takes responsibility for the triple bomb attacks on Amman hotels.

From ABC News Online:

"A group of our best lions launched a new attack on some dens," the statement said.

"After casing the targets, some hotels were chosen which the Jordanian despot turned into a backyard for the enemies of the faith, the Jews and crusaders."

The statement was signed by a spokesman for Al Qaeda in Iraq.

The admission comes as no surprise since al Qaeda was suspected from the very beginning. That said, it is odd that many hours transpired before they claimed responsibility.

1 Yeah it takes "lions" of great courage to attack a heavily fortified wedding reception guarded by hordes of inebriated, dancing senior citizens and young children, not to mention the tower cake booby traps. In Islam courage is definitely graded on a very low curve.

3 "After casing the targets, some hotels were chosen which the Jordanian despot turned into a backyard for the enemies of the faith, the Jews and crusaders." You're right, Graeme, that's why the moron detonated himself in the middle of a Muslim wedding. Goodness knows the bride and groom had to be up to something.

5 The target countries does not surprise me, isn't Jordan & Egypt the only two Arab countries that have peace treaties with Israel?

6 DING DING DING!!! Dave hit the bullseye! They are lashing out at anyone they can think of who isn't suspecting it. They plainly lose bigtime whenever the smack up against the Great Satan's™ minions, so they go after those damned reprobate islamic wedding guests. Such brave warriors of allah (pig's blood upon him) are certain to win. NOT.

7 The bombers are cowards and filthy dogs. They are going to rot in hell for enternity for bombing a wedding. Why doesn't Osama blow himself up? Becasue he is a COWARD that sleeps with dogs.

8 Please provide me with the website url that you continue to site in your news stories about al qaeda. You and many other news sources cite "an Islamic website that acts as a clearing house for statements by militant groups" and yet you never publish the url. Please be responsible and provide the url. It is quite ridiculous not to publish the website url every single time something happens. Please allow the readers to decide for themselves. So again, I ask, can you give me the url for this "website that acts as a clearing house for statements by militant groups?" Thank you.
