Hmmm… I thought al-Qaeda was fighting for the Palestinian cause. Apparently not:

Among those killed [in the Amman bombings] were two high-ranking Palestinian officials - Maj Gen Bashir Nafeh, the head of military intelligence in the West Bank, and Col Abed Allun, a Preventive Security forces official.

They both died in the attack on the Hyatt hotel, Atallah Khairy, the Palestinian representative in Jordan, said.
