US embassy in Jordan warns against travel to Aqaba
2010-09-16
The US embassy posted a warning on its website that "credible information has been received regarding a possible imminent threat in the Gulf of Aqaba region".

"The US embassy recommends that all non-official and personal travel to Aqaba be deferred for at least the next 48 hours. For those citizens resident in Aqaba, the downtown and port areas should be avoided if possible," the embassy said without elaborating.

A Jordanian government official said that the security situation in the Kingdom is stable and there are no imminent threats anywhere in the country, including Aqaba. He underlined that "the recent attacks against Aqaba were launched from outside Jordanian territory".
I seem to recall that the recent attacks against Aqaba were rockets launched from the Gaza Strip toward Israel that overshot, causing property damage and casualties in Jordan. I wonder what bright ideas the Gazans have this time.
