Jordan has launched a hunt for the masterminds of Wednesday's suicide bombings at three Western hotels in Amman that killed at least 56 people and wounded more than 100 others.
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's "al-Qaida in Iraq" terrorist group claimed responsibility for the attacks on the Radisson hotel, the Grand Hayatt hotel and the Days Inn hotel. That claim was made in an Internet posting.

Indonesian authorities have confirmed the death of one of the most wanted terrorists in Southeast Asia.
