AMMAN, Jan. 11 (Xinhua) -- Jordan on Monday pledged to continue war on terror, warning that it will not allow "anyone" to tamper with the country's security and stability, according to a top Jordanian official.

    "Our war on terrorism is ongoing. We are part of the world and this requires coordination with the others and exchange of information. We will exist anywhere as long as our national security requires that," Jordanian Prime Minister Samir Rifai said in an interview with the state-run Petra news agency.

    The premier made the remarks in a clear reference to an operation late December 2009 when a suicide bomber blew himself up in the Afghanistan-based U.S. Forward Operating Base Chapman in Khost province, killing seven CIA agents and a top Jordanian intelligence officer.

    In the interview, the Jordanian premier said dealing with terrorism should be at a global scale, stressing that there should be coordination and exchange of information between all to face terrorism, which he labeled as "the new prevalent challenge that has many faces and types and that expresses itself everywhere."

    "Terrorism is a global phenomenon, especially after the emergence of al-Qaida, which seeks to operate and carry out armed attacks at the global level," said the premier.

    Rifai referred to the 2005 bombing that ripped through three hotels in the Jordanian capital of Amman, killing at least 87 people, 70 of them Jordanians. Al-Qaida claimed responsibility for the attacks.

    Stressing that Jordan is keen on targeting terrorism; the premier said the Jordanian security authorities have foiled tens of operations over the years.

    During the interview, the premier referred to progress in amending the country's controversial election law, noting that discussions with all involved parties are underway to amend the law.

    While admitting that Jordan's economy has witnessed a "slow" growth, the premier said the government will take a series of measures to address the overall public debt ant attract investments.

    According to official figures, Jordan's overall public debt stands currently at 9.7 billion Jordanian dinars, of which 65 per cent is internal debt.
