AMMAN, Jordan — Demonstrators gathered in downtown Amman today, April 26, following afternoon prayers to protest the sending of American troops to Jordan.

"No Americans in our country," blared the voice of one young man over a set of speakers in the back of a pickup truck. The crowd repeated the chant as another stepped up to the microphone, calling out, "We reject the American army's presence in Jordan!"
