Israelis evacuated from Amman hotel hours before bombings

November 10, 2005

[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.

  2. I have just read the press release from Haaretz and it specifically says that its NOT true that Israelis were evacuated…!!

    The situation is very sad and disturbing and I don’t think it serves anyone to add to the confusion.

  5. I don’t believe that Jordan knew about it and did nothing to save people’s life. In fact, I’ve just noticed the part that says jordanian forces evacuated israelies! seems that the bad news had its aweful effect on my brain.

    It is most likely a lie.
