Missile attack on U.S. Navy ships believed to be connected to Al-Qaeda
(19.08.2005)

At least three missiles were launched from Jordan today in what appeared to be an attempt to hit two U.S. Navy ships docked in the port of Aqaba, Jordan.

One of the missiles narrowly missed the USS Ashland, which has now put out to sea with the USS Kearsage.

Although there were no U.S. casualties, a Jordanian soldier was killed in the attack and at least one other person reportedly injured.

The missile that missed the USS Ashland, landed on a warehouse (that the killed Jordanian soldier was guarding), another landed near an airport in Israel, near the Red Sea resort of Eilat, but did not explode.

A group called "The Abdullah al-Azzam Brigades of the al-Qaeda Organization in the Levant and Egypt" have apparently claimed responsibility for the attack, but this has not been confirmed.

The missiles were launched from a warehouse in Katyusha, Jordan, and authorities are looking for a Syrian and two Iraqis. However, other reports claim that the warehouse was leased to three Iraqis and an Egyptian?

It is uncertain whether any of the missiles actually exploded and this would make the second attack (the second London "bombing" being the first) where unexploding bombs have been used.

Readers may care to read an article from our sister site Profindpages (The New 9/11 expected on the same date) dated the 17th of July, which was an update on how we believe the "new" 9/11 will occur. Others believe that this will take place on American soil and although this can't be ruled out, we are going to stick with our original prediction.

Could this latest attack be a test run for the USS Nimitz? Hopefully not, but if it is, be sure to remember our warning and ask plenty of questions afterwards!
