WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. military officials believe two Navy ships at a port in Jordan were the targets of a rocket attack on Friday but were still seeking evidence to confirm that and find out who was behind the strike.

"We condemn all such attacks," said White House spokeswoman Dana Perino, who was with the vacationing President Bush in Crawford, Texas. "We are investigating the matter and will cooperate with local Jordanian officials on the attacks."

Early Friday, three rockets were fired that Israeli and Jordanian authorities said were launched by militants from a warehouse.

One sailed over the bow of the USS Ashland, an amphibious assault ship docked at the Jordanian Red Sea port of Aqaba, and slammed into a Jordanian army warehouse, killing a Jordanian soldier. No American personnel were injured.
