Jordan hotel suicide bombers kill 57, wound 115

Suicide bombers carried out nearly simultaneous attacks on three US-based hotels in the Jordanian capital last night, killing at least 57 people and wounding at least 115 in an al-Qaida-style assault on the Arab kingdom with close ties to the United States and a border with Iraq.

Three Chinese were among those killed in the attacks, all from China’s elite military training university, the Foreign Ministry said today.
