AMMAN: Authorities stormed a basement in a poor neighborhood of the Jordanian capital, killing four men believed to have ties to an al-Qaida-linked cell that plotted simultaneous bombing and chemical attacks against the US Embassy and other targets, a foreign news agency reported on Tuesday. Three other men were detained Tuesday at the hide-out, according to the foreign agency photographer at the scene. It was not immediately clear what relationship the detained men had with the slain terror suspects.
| Well, they were in the hideout with guys who wanted to shoot it out with the cops. I'm sure they are as innocent as the driven snow. |
Three of the dead were foreigners, government spokeswoman Asma Khader said without giving their nationalities.
| Ask the guys who were shacking up with them, when they stop screaming. |
