Tensions between the neighboring countries have been high because of Jordan's support for the US-led war on Iraq.
While Jordan is a major entry point into Iraq and remains a large trading partner, many Iraqis are resentful that Jordan dropped its support for Saddam Hussein after the 1991 Gulf War, and allowed American troops to use its soil as a base during the latest war.
King Abdullah II last week granted "humanitarian asylum" to two daughters of Saddam, whose husbands took refuge in Jordan but were then lured back to Iraq and killed by Saddam's regime in 1996.
