Jordanian Woman Attacks Harassers

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) - All that was missing was the
Wonder Woman costume.

Witnesses say a Jordanian woman ripped off her
enveloping black cloak and veil ~ to reveal a
traditional long dress that was nearly as
enveloping ~ and punched and kicked into
submission three young men who had been verbally
harassing her.

The official Petra News Agency reported Sunday
that shopkeepers and passers-by believe the
unidentified woman must have had martial arts
training. In Friday's incident on the main street
in Zarqa 13 miles north Amman, the three men were
too shocked to react at first and ended up knocked
to the ground, screaming in pain. They then s
crambled up and fled.

The woman quoted the title of a song made famous
by the late Egyptian star Umm Kalthoum ~ "patience
has its limits" ~ before continuing on her way as
a crowd cheered her.

Petra quoted witnesses as saying the three men
had regularly directed obscenities at the woman
as she walked in the area. It was not clear if
they harassed other women as well.
