Jordan Foils Two Iraqi Terror Plots

Authorities have foiled two recent Iraqi terror plots, including one by Iraqi diplomats allegedly planning to contaminate water supplies to Jordanian and U.S. troops on Jordan's desert border with Iraq, diplomats said Tuesday.

The second one - in which four Iraqis were arrested last week - allegedly involved a plot to bomb a luxury hotel frequented by Americans and other Westerners, including about 70 journalists, the diplomats said on condition of anonymity.
