I feel like I’m torn into million pieces, my eyes do not seem to dry. I haven’t cried like this in my whole life.

I can not take this anymore, I don’t want to hear one more word about what happened.

How I wish I was there, doing something just anything. I wish I was there to embrace the sky, and feel the warmth of the land when I press it with my both palms.

عمان يا حبيبتي لا تبكي،لا تجزعي من أشباه الرجال. أبناؤك لا لم يموتوا بل ولدوا من جديد،نبتوا من رحم أرضك يا غالية ،أنضر من الورد الخجول وجوههم، ضاحكين مستبشرين. يقرؤونك السلام يا عروس السلام، بالأمس زوجت الشرف…
أرادوا منك أن تركعي، طعنوك يا حبيبة…قصوا جدائلك، خانوا عطر الياسمين، سرقوا منك الأحبة، ولم تركعي.عمان يا أبية لا تركعي…لا تركعي

CAIRO, Nov. 10 (Xinhuanet) — The al Qaida terror group claimed responsibility on Thursday for the three suicide bombings in Jordan that killed at least 57 people.

Two pan-Arab satellite TV channels, the Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya, reported the claim but did not give any details.

Earlier, a statement published on the Internet said the group of al Qaida’s front-man in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, had claimed responsibility for the deadly bombings.

“A group of lions of al Qaida launched a new raid on some of the Muslims in Amman,” said a statement by Zarqawi’s al Qaida Organization in the Land of the Two Rivers.

“After having studied and monitored the objectives, the sites of the hotels were chosen,” it said.

The three hotels targeted in Wednesday’s attacks had been”turned by the dictator of Jordan into a garden for the enemies of(our) religion, the Jews and the Crusaders,” it said.

Jordanian authorities had said the bombers had killed at least 57 people and wounded at least 115.

Also on Thursday, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said in Beijing that three Chinese nationals were killed and one wounded in the attacks. The four were members of a delegation from China’s University of National Defense visiting Amman.

Palestinian officials in Amman also said a senior Palestinian security officer and two other officials were among those killed in the three suspected suicide attacks.

Major General Bashir Nafe, commander of the Palestinian Special Forces, who was on his way back to the Palestinian territories, was killed in the explosion at the Grand Hyatt Hotel,Palestinian Embassy diplomat Atta Kheiri said.

He said commercial attache at the Palestinian Embassy in Cairo Jehad Fattouh, brother of Palestinian Parliament Speaker Rawhi Fattouh, and Colonel Abed Alloun, a member of the Palestinian intelligence department, were also among the 57 people killed.

Jordanian authorities had said most of the victims were Jordanians. Enditem

[Disclaimer: I’ve just read the part where it says ” evacuated before the bombing by Jordanian security forces”. It seems that the bad news had its effect on me. It is not the first time Israelies lie, their news can not, and should not be trusted especially when it comes to Jordan.]

By Yoav Stern, Haaretz Correspondent

A number of Israelis staying on Wednesday at the Radisson hotel were evacuated before the bombing by Jordanian security forces, apparently due to a specific security alert. They were escorted back to Israel by security personnel.

The Foreign Ministry stated Wednesday that no Israeli tourists are known to have been injured in the blasts. Representatives of Israel’s embassy in Amman were in contact with local authorities to examine any report of injured Israelis, but none were received. There are often a number of Israeli businessman and tourists in Amman, including in the hotels hit Wednesday.

Israel’s counter-terror headquarters on Wednesday recommended Israeli citizens not travel in Jordan. Travel warnings regarding Jordan were tightened a few months ago, but many Israelis still visit the country. Many also visit other regions such as the Jordanian Arava and the ancient city of Petra.
