Four Iraqi nationals have been detained in Jordan for allegedly conspiring to blow up the Grand Hyatt Amman Hotel in the kingdom’s capital. Since the outbreak of war in neighboring Iraq, the luxury hotel was turned into a beehive of foreign journalists.
In addition, many Americans are currently residing in two adjacent tower blocks, reported AFP. Jordanian authorities have recently also expelled five Iraqi diplomats for supposedly plotting to poison water supplies to the military bases near the Iraqi border.
Grand Hyatt Amman is located in the heart of the capital's business and diplomatic district. It includes 316 rooms and linked to the Hyatt Tower and Zara Expo, the city’s conference and exhibition center. — (menareport.com)
