Saturday Extra

It's been just over 2 weeks since the triple bombing in Jordan, where dozens of people were killed and over 100 were injured.

Since that time we've had proof that the bombers themselves were Iraqi.

Could this be proof that the insurgency in Iraq has spilled across its borders?

After all, Jordan is a key US ally in the Middle East and has been regarded as a prime target for attacks by radical Islamic militants.

This week the International Crisis Group has released a new report that outlines the current political complexities in Jordan and addresses one of the country's most serious problems - how to deal with militants within their own borders.
