Three bombs exploded in the evening of Nov 09, 2005 in Amman, Jordon.
The attack at the Radisson SAS was just one of three nearly simultaneous
suicide bombings on U.S.-based hotels in the Jordanian capital Wednesday
night. Officials said 57 people were killed and 115 were wounded in what
appeared to be an al-Qaida assault on an Arab kingdom with close ties to
the United States.
Most of the casualties at the Radisson were Jordanians attending
the wedding, where a man strapped with explosives joined the 300 guests
in the ground-floor reception hall.
The explosions hit the Grand Hyatt, Radisson SAS and Days Inn hotels
just before 9 p.m. Black smoke rose into the night, and wounded victims
stumbled from the hotels.
Our specification for the hypothesis test is a period beginning one hour
before the first blast and continuing to 4 hours after. The result is a
positive trend with Chisq 18307 on 18000 df, Z = 1.618 and p = 0.053.
