WASHINGTON - The US State Department on Friday warned Americans traveling to Jordan of threats from terrorist groups after several recent attacks in the country. More than a dozen people were killed, including a Canadian tourist, in two attacks by Islamist militants this week in the southern city of Karak. 'The Department of State reminds US citizens that terrorist and extremist organizations have expressed a desire to conduct attacks targeting US citizens and Westerners in Jordan,' the travel warning said.
