2010-08-02 2 Dailymotion


Rockets thought to have come from Egypt's Sinai, an area where Islamist militants have operated in the past, have struck Israel's and Jordan's Red Sea port resorts killing a Jordanian civilian and injuring three others.


A Jordanian interior ministry source said one of the four injured when one rocket exploded near a five star hotel in Aqaba, died from his injuries.


There is no word of casualties in the adjacent Israeli port and holiday resort of Eilat, but the country's foreign ministry has condemned the attacks.


Egyptian security sources are quoted as saying rockets could not have been fired from Sinai.


No group or organisation has claimed responsibility for the attack.
