Attacks were planned at the new year of 2000 by al-Qaeda against multiple targets in Jordan, as well as the United States.[1] According to Richard Clarke, Cofer Black, of the CIA Counterterrorism Center, warned the U.S. government, in late December 1999, about al-Qaeda plans to kill Americans at the Radisson Hotel and Christian religious sites in Jordan[2] Investigations showed him to be associated with a support cell in Canada.
