Terrorism Attacks Amman
Three horrible explosions took place a bit earlier in Amman, Jordan, hitting 3 hotels: Radisson SAS, Grand Hyatt and Days Inn…
The one in the Grand Hyatt hit during a wedding cerenomy...
The Jordanian officials announced that the explosions were caused by suicide bombers.
The blasts killed 67 people and wounded hundreds of others.
This really breaks my heart...
This is so so wrong...
The people who stand behind these attacks are animals. There is no reason that could justify such barbaric actions.
Our deepest condolences go to our Jordanian brothers who lost their loved ones in these attacks; May God bless their souls.

Israelis evacuated from Amman hotel hours before bombings
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.
