57 killed in Jordan bomb blasts

Suicide bombers carried out nearly simultaneous attacks on three U.S.-based hotels in Amman capital of Jordan on Wednesday 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. Most of the victims were Jordanians. The explosions rocked the Grand Hyatt, Radisson SAS and Days Inn hotels.
