Hello Ammar:
I didn't mean any offence, but I'm simply following the news, and the reports
that some terrorists are threatening Caucasian foreigners in Jordan. Jordan does
have a high transient population, many of whom seem to be sympathetic to the
Palestinian/Alkeida cause. Being a visible westerner in Jordan, isn't desirable
during this time. Just like Saudi Arabia, being that both support the so called
'war on terror' and both are seen as strong allies to the U.S. makes the danger
obvious.
Didn't Jordan have a terrorist incident just a couple weeks ago? Something about
a chemical bomb threat, that was uncovered by Jordon's special forces, during a
raid? It was all over the TV here.
One does need to be pragmatic, where personal security and that of one's family
is concerned. I'm not being political, just being upfront.
My apologies for being off-topic, but you seemed to be obfuscating where the job
opportunity was initially. Usually a recruiter indicates the country where the
position is, initially.
Regards,
