"A US defence official has told AFP that Washington has expanded 
its military presence in the country to 1,000 troops. "Jordanians do not feel 
comfortable about the presence of US troops, weapons and equipment in the 
kingdom," analyst Oraib Rintawi, who runs the Al-Quds Centre for Political 
Studies, told AFP. "For Jordanians, the US military presence is linked to plots 
and conspiracies against their neighbours, which would impact the country 
itself." "
