Western nations to reopen Jordan missions
Australia, Britain and Canada are to reopen their embassies in Jordan which have been closed for a week because of a terror alert, officials said.
"We are resuming normal activities from tomorrow (Sunday)," an official at the Canadian embassy in Amman told AFP.
Staff at the British embassy have also been told to return to work on Sunday, while the Australian embassy will reopen on Monday, according to the foreign ministry website.

The moved followed bomb attacks claimed by Al-Qaeda against three luxury hotels in Amman in November that killed 60 people plus three bombers and wounded about 100 more.
Jordan is a key US ally and regarded as one of the most stable countries in the volatile Middle East.
