Al Qeada Loses Steam-Updated

What they heck was this? Is Al Qeada losing steam? First the London bombings, which were an utter failure in that it back-fired, and now this:

U.S. Ships Escape Damage, Israel Hit in Jordan Rocket Attack
Aug 19 (Bloomberg) -- Rockets fired from Jordan landed near two U.S. warships killing a Jordanian soldier and striking a nearby Israeli town. The attack was claimed by an al-Qaeda group that said it bombed an Egyptian resort in the region on July 23.
Three Soviet-designed Katyusha rockets were used in the simultaneous assault on Jordan's Red Sea port of Aqaba and near an airport across the border in Israel that serves the town of Eilat, the Jordanian state-owned Petra news agency reported.
The soldier died and another was wounded when one of the rockets hit a Jordanian Armed Forces warehouse close to the U.S. naval vessels Ashland and Kearsarge, Petra said. No U.S. Marines or sailors were hurt and the ships pulled out to sea, U.S. Navy Fifth Fleet spokesman Lieutenant Commander Charlie Brown said by phone from Bahrain where the fleet is based.

First the MSM say we are losing the war. And then they blow off a sailor's hat. Compare this to the USS Cole, Madrid bombings, and 9/11.

Murdoc on this with lotsa links.

Update- Here's the official US Navy version:

No U.S. Sailors or Marines were injured in an apparent rocket attack Aug. 19 that missed two U.S. Navy ships in the Red Sea port of Aqaba, Jordan, officials reported. "At approximately 8:44 a.m. local time, a suspected mortar rocket flew over the USS Ashland's (LSD 48) bow and impacted in a warehouse on the pier in the vicinity of the Ashland and the USS Kearsarge (LHD 3)," U.S. 5th Fleet officials said in a statement. "The warehouse sustained an approximate 8-foot hole in the roof of the building." According to news reports, a Jordanian soldier was killed and another severely wounded when the rocket hit the warehouse. A second rocket hit near a Jordanian hospital and a third partially exploded, damaging a road and a car. A third rocket reportedly landed in the nearby Israeli city of Eilat, with no casualties and only minor damage.
