A bomb has exploded near a convoy of cars carrying Israeli diplomats in Jordan, without causing injuries. The incident occurred close to the Allenby Bridge that links Jordan and the Israeli occupied Palestinian West Bank at about 5pm (1500GMT) on Thursday, Israeli army radio said. Danny Nevo, Israel's ambassador to Jordan, was not in any of the vehicles that were travelling from Amman, the Jordanian capital, at the time, Israeli officials said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. "While cars, including two Israeli Embassy cars, were travelling near the town of Naur on the road between Amman and the Jordan Valley a bomb exploded without causing casualties or damage. The cars were not damaged by the blast," Nabil Sharif, the information minister, said. Jordanian officials said that they were investigating the incident.
