Jordon says Hamas's Syrian leadership behind planned attacks

Reuters/Washington Post:

Jordan said on Tuesday a group of Hamas militants arrested last week were close to staging attacks inside the kingdom on orders from the Palestinian group's Syrian-based leadership.

Security sources said Jordan's intelligence community is checking whether the Hamas plot represented a shift in strategy away from the militant group's traditional policy of restricting attacks to Palestinian territory and Israel.

"Security interrogations with the detained suspects had proven they received instructions to execute operations from leaders of Hamas and specifically one of the military officials of Hamas currently based in Syria," said government spokesman Nasser Joudeh.

"They (the attacks) had reached a stage of implementation targeting installations and officials in Jordan," he added.

...

Jordon should demand that Syria turn over the Hamas people responsible for the plan or share their fate. Syria cannot afford to the harboring terrorist attacking another country at this time. Shutting down its terrorist nets should be a priority for the world community. Who will support Syria at the UN on such an issue other than Iran, which is the world leader in state sponsored terrorism.

Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
