AMMAN, JORDAN: Jordan's King Abdullah II enters a room at a Amman hospital where he visited 11 November 2005 people wounded in the recent hotel attacks. Fifty seven people were killed in the worst attack in the kingdom's history claimed by homegrown extremist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's militants. Al-Qaeda said today that four Iraqis, including a husband and wife team, carried out the suicide bombings against luxury hotels in Jordan that devastated one of Washington's staunchest Middle East allies.

Queen Rania: Jordanians are determined after bombings.
'There is Such a Feeling of Unity in Jordan,' She Tells 'GMA'
Nov. 11, 2005 — Jordan's Queen Rania says she woke up with a heavy heart two days after a string of deadly hotel bombings killed at least 60 people in her country. She says she also woke up determined.
"I also woke up with a sense of determination and strength, just knowing that there is such a feeling of unity in Jordan," Queen Rania said today in an exclusive interview with "Good Morning America."

Queen tours city hospitals
AMMAN — Four-year-old Ammar Keilane was laughing and dancing on Wednesday night when an explosion ripped through a wedding party at the Radisson SAS.
When the boy awakened from his coma on Thursday, no one knows if he recognised the visitor holding his hand. Her Majesty Queen Rania stood by Ammar's bedside.

Quote from Queen Rania (from the article above):
“This is what happened to my family, so there's nowhere else I could be today but be with people and try to console them”

thats very sad. No wonder she was inconsolable, any mother would be. Even before Queen Rania's visit to the hospital she was crying and the doctors and nurses were trying to console her.

The story of this guy broke my heart,he's a doctor working in a hospital somewhere near Amman,he was working when he heard about the blasts,he tried calling his wife who was at the wedding to check on her and on his 3 months old daughter,but the phone would ring and noone answered,not his wife,not his mum or even his aunt,he tried to find a way to go to Amman to see if his family has been hurt but he couldn't find a way , until someone stopped his car and offered to take him,he went to the hospitals to check where they were and when he found where they were, he found out that his wife,mum and Aunt all died and his baby girl injured :( :(
"I am still trying to call my wife,It's ringing but she's not answering,I am still hoping she will answer,but nothing :( :( " the man said crying :( :(
He was crying so much,it was so heart breaking seeing that :( :(
he's not older than 26 years , the baby is his first baby :( :(

Humera,
I just saw Anderson Cooper yesterday and was surprised to see Queen Noor. Anyway, guess what went through my mind when I did see her, I immediately thought that Humera will be sitting somewhere taking screen caps and they will be posted on TRF!! :) Thanks so much for doing this. I know that I can always count on you to post screen caps on the JRF. By the way, how do you know when they will be on TV? I never know until it is too late!!

Oh, also, this was the first time I saw Queen Noor on TV and I must say she is far more attractive on TV then in pictures. I also saw Queen Rania but I think it is the other way around for her - she is more attractive in pictures than TV. Anyway, both are lovely looking.
