AMMAN, Jordan - The Jordanian government said Monday it had arrested the
prime suspect in the Katyusha rocket attack that barely missed U.S. warships
docked in Aqaba port.

The government statement, read on state television, said the suspect,
Mohammed Hassan Abdullah al-Sihly, a Syrian, plotted the attack along with
three other men - including two of his sons and an Iraqi. 

The statement said the plotters were part of an Iraq-based terrorist group
that was not named. 

Police had also detained several suspects last Saturday in the hunt for the
attackers who fired and supplied the rockets that narrowly missed the ships
anchored in the bay of this Red Sea port best known for beach vacations and
Mideast summits. 

Those arrested included Iraqis, Syrians, Egyptians and Jordanians, according
to a Jordanian security official, who spoke on condition of anonymity
because he was not authorized to comment publicly. He would not give the
number of detainees. 

The Gulf of Aqaba, a narrow northern extension of the Red Sea, is bordered
by Egypt, Israel, Jordan and Saudi Arabia with the frontiers of the four
countries touching or within view of one another.
