Here’s great fodder for anyone wanting to start a conspiracy rumor implicating Israel in the suicide bombings that rocked Amman hotels last night. The LA Times picked up on a Haaretz report that Israelis staying at the Radisson were evacuated by Jordanian security services, “apparently due to a specific security alert.” The Times writes:
Amos N. Guiora, a former senior Israeli counter-terrorism official, said in a phone interview with The Times that sources in Israel had also told him about the pre-attack evacuations.
“It means there was excellent intelligence that this thing was going to happen,” said Guiora, a former leader of the Israel Defense Forces who now heads the Institute for Global Security Law and Policy at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. “The question that needs to be answered is why weren’t the Jordanians working at the hotel similarly removed?”
Despite the fact that Al-Qaida claimed responsibility for last night’s terror, can rumors of sinister Israeli connections be long in coming?
UPDATE: Haaretz has corrected it’s coverage to say that the Israelis were escorted home after the hotel bombings.
UPDATE: Michel Chossudovsky has the Mossad connections all figured out.
