Thousands of people were gathered earlier today at 3 PM at the 3rd circle area in Jabal Amman, right opposite to Grand Hyatt Amman hotel, whic is about 500 meters away from Radisson hotel, thousands of people were there, many were crying, many were just talking to each other expressing how they feel 4 days after triple coward explosions took place in our beloved city of Amman, but all the people who were there had one thing in common, which is that they all came here to say ‘NO FOR TERRORISM’.

I was there and I brought you many pictures.

Jordan said today that it had arrested the wife of an Amman suicide bomber, caught after she failed to detonate her explosives belt during a wedding reception in one of the hotels targeted in the attacks that killed 57 people.

The woman failed to blow herself up at the Radisson SAS hotel after apparently struggling with the cord on her explosives belt, Deputy Prime Minister Marwan Muasher said. Her husband saw her fumbling and “pushed her out of the ballroom,” he said. “Once she was out, he blew himself up.”

It was unclear where police arrested the woman. Officials said she would confess on state-run TV later Sunday.

Muasher said the three men who blew themselves up Wednesday in three U.S.-based hotels in the capital were Iraqis affiliated with al-Qaida in Iraq, the terror group led by Jordanian-born Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. The group has claimed responsibility for the attacks and said there were four bombers including a husband-and-wife team.

Muasher identified the woman as Sajida Mubarak Atrous al-Rishawi, 35, and her husband as Ali Hussein Ali al-Shamari, from Iraq’s volatile Anbar province in Iraq. The woman is the sister of Mubarak Atrous al-Rishawi, al-Zarqawi’s right-hand man in Anbar who was killed by U.S. forces in Fallujah, he said.

During a visit to Al Bashir Hospital, the Queen spoke with patients and offered encouragement to those struggling to come to terms with the tragic loss of their loved ones.

Many of the patients told the Queen of the horrific events that took place on Wednesday evening when three suicide bombers struck the Radisson SAS, the Grand Hyatt and the Days Inn hotels killing 67 people and injuring scores of others.

Speaking with the medical staff, Queen Rania also reiterated the need to deal with the emotional and psychological traumas suffered by the victims through continued counselling and treatment, to enable them to come to terms with the unimaginable and sudden loss of loved ones.

Visiting the Arab Medical Centre, where several of those who were critically injured received treatment, resilient survivors spoke of their determination to resume their normal lives, stressing that the visits and support of Their Majesties King Abdullah and Queen Rania had given them the strength to persevere, in spite of the emotional scars brought about by the attacks.

At the Speciality Hospital, Queen Rania met several Arab patients, who were injured, offering them her support and sympathy.

Also yesterday, the Queen visited the Blood Bank, commending the efforts of the medical staff and ordinary citizens who have donated blood to those in need.
