WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 (Xinhuanet) -- Jordanian King
Abdullah II said Sunday through the NBC television that Jordanians, not
foreigners,were the targets of last week's suicide attacks in Amman, and pledged
to bring the attackers to justice.
"This was nothing to do with the West. This targeted Jordanian citizens: innocent men, women and
children," he said, vowing to bring those responsible for the deadly attacks to
justice.
Four suicide bombers carried out three coordinated suicide
bomb attacks on the Radisson, Grand Hyatt and Days Inn hotels in Amman on
Wednesday, killing at least 57 people and wounding some 100 others.
The king said that "if we know where they are, even
if it's beyond the borders of Jordan, we will give it the best shot possible to
bring these people to justice."
Meanwhile, Jordan identified on Sunday three Iraqi
men and an Iraqi woman who carried out the triple attacks.
Jordanian Deputy Prime Minister Marwan al-Muasher
said at a news conference in Amman that Ali Hussein Ali al-Shamari, his
wifeSajida Mubarak Atrous al-Rishawi, and two other Iraqi men, identified as
Rawad Jassem Mohammed Abed and Safaa Mohammed Ali, carried out the deadly
attacks.
Al-Muasher said the woman bomber, who failed to blow herself
up when accompanying her husband in the attack on the Radisson Hotel,has
been arrested.
The woman was the sister of a senior aide of Abu
Musab al-Zarqawi, leader of al-Qaida in Iraq. The aide was killed by US-Iraqi
forces in Iraq earlier this year, al-Muasher added. Enditem |
