Israel has accused the United States of bias and rewarding terrorism after the State Department urged Americans visiting Eilat to exercise caution following a rocket attack on the Red Sea resort. Israel's tourism ministry on Sunday said it was angered because the State Department had not issued a separate advisory warning of similar dangers in the nearby Jordanian city of Aqaba. Suspected Islamist militants last week fired five rockets on Eilat, Israel's only city on the Red Sea, one of which went astray and killed a Jordanian national in Aqaba, which lies on the other side of the bay. There...

The president immediately calls in the lawyers to determine whether the attacking state is in compliance with the NPT. If it turns out that the attacker...

Attackers fired at least three rockets at a U.S. Navy ship docked in the Jordanian Red Sea port of Aqaba. One of the missiles hit a nearby privy. One landed outside a camel pen north of the city, greatly distressing the animals. A third was a dud. Witnesses said the attackers fired the Russian-built Katyusha rockets from a whorehouse near the dock. U.S. Seaman Jack Tarleton observed the attack from the ship's deck. “They couldn’t have been more than 100 yards from the ship,” said Tarleton. “How could they have missed? The Three Stooges could’ve done better.” Camel driver Akmed...
