  DEBKAfile - First Direct al Qaeda Strike in Israel – from Jordan
The Jordanian gunman who cut down a group of Ecuadorian pilgrims with automatic gunfire at the border crossing from Jordan to Israel north of Eilat on Wednesday, November 19, did much more than shatter the calm of a border terminal normally bustling with goods, tourist and business traffic between the Jewish state and Hashemite kingdom.
The Jordanians, whose military intelligence is usually excellent when it comes to Muslim subversive activities, hadn’t a clue Al Qaeda had been running a recruitment network inside the kingdom through a small and relatively obscure organization called the Muslim Labor Party – a radical branch of the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood.
Jordanian Al Qaeda members were to strike the Mount Nevo pilgrimage site, the convents east of Jericho, the banks of the River Jordan that divides the West Bank from Jordan and Amman luxury hotels that were packed with Christian pilgrims and Israeli tourists.

 Fomenting Unrest in Jordan
Now the Jordanian regime hopes to surround itself with some threads of decency by declaring its refusal to permit use of its airspace for military overflights.
Jordanian officials stated that the war had cut off the oil from Iraq.
Abdullah “’has proved to be three times more ruthless than his father.’” (9) That is saying a lot because as one wealthy Palestinian businessman settled in Jordan confided: “King Hussein was worse than the devil.” Such daring speech is rare; the freedom to speak is not a right that is forthrightly observed in Jordan.

GENEVA (AP) — The list of 558 detainee names released by the Pentagon may provide some families with the first confirmation in four years that their relatives are being held at the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay, the international Red Cross said Thursday.
The list had previously been accessible to the International Committee of the Red Cross, which is mandated by the Geneva Conventions to visit prisoners of war and is the only outside agency the United States allows to visit the Guantanamo detainees and check on their conditions.
A Jordanian counterterrorism official, who is not allowed to be identified in line with standing security regulations, said the five Jordanians on the Pentagon list are not wanted for crimes in the Arab kingdom.

Ali Abu Sukar, the energetic coordinator of the drive, says at least 20 people on the list have already approached him, promising to cease activities to which the group objects in exchange for keeping their names unpublished.
He is president of the national association of civil engineers and is a leading force in the umbrella organization of professional groupings to which lawyers, doctors, architects, journalists and others are obliged to belong.
In September Sukar's group persuaded the Jordanian Artists Association to revoke the membership of the director of Amman's annual theater festival because he had invited a repertory troupe from Jerusalem -- Arab East Jerusalem, to be sure, and wholly Palestinian in ethnicity and outlook, but including a few performers who hold Israeli passports.

 Five years after signing of peace treaty
The list will be the crowning achievement of the country's anti-normalisation movement and a reflection of disappointment and discontent that has grown, rather than subsided, with the nascent relationship.
The relationship was not on good terms for a long time, and Jordanians saw many instances in which even the late King Hussein showed his frustration with and criticism of [Israel], not only in her unwillingness to move the peace forward but in its desire to promote bilateral economic relations with Jordan.
Although Jordanians have legitimate grievances with Israel, their own government and the state of the peace process, no one can suggest, with conviction, to what extent the movement enjoys unexpressed support.
