Default Al-Qa'eda plot would have killed 20000

Terrorists linked to al-Qa'eda were poised to detonate a chemical bomb in the heart of Jordan's capital, Amman, that would have killed 20,000 people and contaminated a large area, it emerged yesterday.

I know the "government" of Jordan is a US ally, but why would al-Queda try to kill regular people -- from what I have read, the average Jordanian hates the US as much as anyone else. It is surprising that they would be a an al-queda target.

Somehow i doubt Amman was the target. So close to Iraq or Israel, why would they bomb an allied people?Naah...
