Narrative:

After landing and crossing approach end of 27R I was taxiing west on taxiway K. Suddenly the aircraft veered hard right and the tail lifted. I was able to regain control using differential braking and barely missed departing the taxiway. It was a very violent event. After stopping I realized that there was a twin engine jet on the ramp (north of K) that was running its engines with the exhaust pointing directly at taxiway K and deduced that jet blast caused the event. After asking ground to find out what power setting they were using; the aircraft did not respond to ground control's inquiry. Later I was contacted by the ground controller and he stated that the maintenance supervisor said the engine run was at full power.
