More on the Amman bombings

A similar thing happened after the bombings in London. Haaretz was earlier reporting that Israelis staying at the Radisson hotel in Amman were evacuated before the terrorist attack. That report has now been pulled, and replaced by one contradicting it:

There is no truth to reports that Israelis staying at the Radisson SAS hotel in Amman on Wednesday were evacuated by Jordanian security forces before the bombing that took place there.

But you can find blog posts based on the earlier report here and here (via Memeorandum); and the information was also repeated by Al Jazeera. One more, doubtless, for the mythology of 'The Israelis did it'.

An Israeli Arab was among the dead:

Husam Fathi Mahajna, 40, from the no[r]thern town of Umm al-Fahm, was a guest at a wedding held at the Radisson Hotel and his body was taken to the Jordan University Hospital in Amman, where it was identified by a local friend.

The family of 40-year-old Mahajna were making their way to Amman on Thursday morning.
