Jordan finds launcher for attacks
http://edition.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/08/20/jordan.blasts/

AQABA, Jordan -- Authorities in Jordan say they have found the launcher that fired three Katyusha rockets that targeted but missed two U.S. military ships in the Red Sea port of Aqaba.

Jordan's Interior Minister Awni Yirfas announced the development Saturday, the day after three Katyusha rockets hit a warehouse and a hospital in Aqaba, killing a Jordanian soldier, and striking the nearby Israeli port city of Eilat.

A second Jordanian soldier was severely wounded. No U.S. military personnel were injured.

"We have found the rocket launcher in the warehouse from where they fired," Yirfas told The Associated Press.
