At least three missiles fired by unknown attackers narrowly missed a US navy ship docked at Aqaba in Jordan today, but one killed a Jordanian soldier and another hit Eilat across the border in Israel.
The soldier, named as Private Ahmad Alnajdawi, was killed when one of the wayward missiles struck the warehouse he was guarding, according to a Jordanian security source.

"At least two rockets were fired from the industrial warehouse area at the entrance of the city at US vessels docked in the port and they missed," the source told state-run news agency Petra."

8. How exactly do you "miss" a docked ship... three times to boot.
Talk about a stroke of good luck for our guys... damn my grandmother (rest her soul) could do better.
