Explosion Reported at Grand Hyatt Amman
CBC News is reporting that smoke is billowing out of the Grand Hyatt Amman in Jordan... an American businessman is quoted as saying a bomb expolded in the lobby of either the Grand Hyatt or the adjacent Radisson.

- must be a politically motivated terrorist bombing.

Both the Radisson & the Hyatt were bombed by suicide bombers that got inside the hotels. But the bomber couldn't get past the security blockades outside of the Days Inn & detonated in the parking lot. Why does the Days Inn have better security than the Radisson or the Hyatt? Praying no FT'ers were there...
