Jordanians injured in the WTC attack, one Jordanian at least missing

The Embassy has identified at least six Jordanians who were at the WTC complex when the attack occurred.
At least two Jordanians were injured in the attack on the Twin Towers. The victims were treated and their condition is good. One of the victims, Majeda Ghaleb worked on the 45th floor of the second tower while the other, Amjad Kteishat who had arrived to the US a few days earlier for the first time in his life was coming out of his hotel across the street from the WTC. A third Jordanian escaped from the 28th floor of tower one by climbing down the external pipes of the building.

At least one Jordanian is still missing. Ramzi Doany, an auditor working for Marsh and Mclennan Companies on the 100th floor of the North tower in the World Trade Center.
