1. (S/NF) For the past two days, the local press has
reported on the front pages that Jordanian authorities were
searching for Syrian, Egyptian, and Iraqi terrorists who
reportedly fled the scene of the August 19 Aqaba attack in a
Kuwaiti-licensed car. We have been advised by DATT and SIMO
that nothing provided by their liaison sources in Amman or
Kuwait indicates involvement of a Kuwaiti-licensed car, or
any other connection to Kuwait.


2. (U) In an August 20 cable to Jordanian Prime Minsiter
Adnan Badran, Prime Minister Shaykh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber
condemned the Aqaba attack and offered Kuwaiti condolences
and support to the families of the dead and injured. Shaykh
Sabah also offered support for any security measures that
Jordan may take to "guarantee its stability."
