This, IMO, is a model for success when we have an alliance with a moderate Islamic country: Says Al-Qaeda Established Cells in Country By Paul Tighe Amman, Jordan, Dec. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Jordan's government said the al-Qaeda terrorist network set up cells in the country, the Associated Press reported citing Information Minister Affash Adwan. ``There could be some small cells here and there,'' AP cited Adwan as saying yesterday. ``We managed to arrest most of their members, if not all.'' Jordanian security forces arrested two men linked to al- Qaeda, who admitted killing U.S. diplomat Laurence Foley Oct. 28, government officials said at the weekend. The two revealed their al-Qaeda cell intended to smuggle surface-to-air missiles into Jordan, AP cited Adwan as saying on Saturday. Jordan began a crackdown on suspected terrorists after Foley's killing. The alleged presence of al-Qaeda members in the country was revealed in 1999 when Jordanian security forces foiled a plot to blow up hotels in the country. Military prosecutors said 28 people convicted in the case were al-Qaeda members. The court ruled at the time there was insufficient evidence al-Qaeda was active in Jordan, AP said.
