AL-Qaida-linked group claims Jordan, Israel attacks

An internet statement released by the al-Qaida-linked Abdullah Azzam Brigades militant group claimed responsibility for today’s rocket attacks in Jordan and Israel.

“A group of our holy warriors … targetted a gathering of American military ships docking in Aqaba port and also in Eilat port with three Katyusha rockets and the warriors returned safe to their headquarters,” said the statement, which could not be immediately verified.
