now the chances of these ringleaders to plan something as big is limited to their own people and their own nationalities, that ultimately hurts the future prospects and show the ugly faces of carnage, it is no more infidels they are going after it is now in frustration their own people to stay in news they have to kill irrespective of whose, where and how! In this rundown industrial town where the al-Qaida leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was born, residents expressed anger, skepticism and dismay Saturday that one of their own could be behind Amman's triple bombings that killed 57 people, mostly Arabs and Muslims. "If there were still any people with any sympathy left for al-Zarqawi, it's gone now. It has backfired on him," said Zuheir Najjar, 45. "What does an attack on a wedding with women and children have to do with fighting the Americans?" Al-Zarqawi's group, al-Qaida in Iraq, sought in a Web statement to justify the attacks, accusing Jordan's government of launching a war on Islam and supporting the U.S. presence in Iraq. But in the desert town of Zarqa, 15 miles northeast of the capital Amman, many regarded Wednesday's bloody attacks as a barbaric act that had nothing to do with Islam. "Any person who would do such an act must be considered a heretic," said Abu Ibrahim, a 56-year-old merchant standing outside his shop, several hundred yards from al-Zarqawi's high-walled house, where his relatives still live. A small light was on at al-Zarqawi's two-story family home and shoes were seen at the doorstep, but nobody answered reporters who came knocking on their door Saturday. Close by, neighbors sat warming themselves around a metal bin filled with flaming coals, drinking tea and coffee and discussing politics. Some voiced anger of al-Zarqawi's attack on fellow Jordanians, but others were unsure that he was involved at all, saying it could have been a bogus claim. Others blamed Israel, which despite its 1994 peace treaty with Jordan is still seen as a pariah by many here, who trace their roots back to the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories. "I don't even know if the man is still alive or not," Abed el-Momany said of al-Zarqawi. "I would not discount the Israeli Mossad. Israel is the worm in the Arab world," he added. Ayman Tawalby, sitting cross legged on the ground and stroking his Osama bin Laden-style beard, said he opposed any terrorist attacks inside Jordan. "I support the resistance against the Americans in Iraq and against the Israelis everywhere," said the unemployed 47-year-old. "Those are our enemies. But I don't support bombing innocent civilians." In the town's center, Nabil Daoud said he supported bin Laden when he fought the Soviets and, later, the Americans in Afghanistan, just like he backed al-Zarqawi's insurgency against the U.S.-led occupation in Iraq. www.yahoo.com "But when they started targeting Muslims, I stopped sympathizing with them," said Daoud, who is in his early 20s. "I don't understand it anymore."

Blomberg quotes.. U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat Roberts, a Kansas Republican, said on CNN today that Jordan was attacked because it has signed a peace treaty with Israel, as well as because of its ties with the U.S. ``The suicide bombers actually went and aimed at Jordanian targets. The Radisson Hotel was a Jordanian wedding with Jordanians and Palestinians,'' King Abdullah said on NBC. ``This was nothing to do with the West. This targeted Jordanian citizens, innocent men, women and children.'' No one can eliminate this better than indigenous specialists; all over the Islamic countries from Egypt post Sharm-ul-Shiekh suicide bombing to Amman yesterday the resolve is to eliminate these people, the biggest benefit is that it is no more Americans single handed fight it is a global fight and this global fight has been brought out in the open instead of simmering under cover in these safe havens where 911 was the worst manifestation, now the chances of these ringleaders to plan something as big is limited to their own people and their own nationalities, that ultimately hurts the future prospects and show the ugly faces of carnage, it is no more infidels they are going after it is now in frustration their own people to stay in news they have to kill irrespective of whose, where and how! Message #49420 from IQBAL LATIF at 11/11/2005 8:28:24 AM The confession of the killer who escaped unhurt, .......... -- Jordan said it has captured a woman with links to an Iraqi cell of the al-Qaeda terrorist network who was part of a suicide bomb team that attacked a wedding party at the Radisson SAS hotel in Amman Nov. 9. Jordanian television showed a woman who claimed to be Sajida al-Rishawi, 35, an Iraqi citizen, confessing to a plot to bomb the hotel with her husband. Jordanian officials said her husband killed himself by detonating an explosive vest with ball bearings. At least 57 people died in the bombings of three hotels in Amman last week. The Days Inn hotel and the Grand Hyatt Amman were also attacked. Jordanian officials said the Raddison attack was the deadliest of the three. ``My husband organized everything,'' al-Rishawi said in the Jordanian broadcast, translated and aired on the Cable News Network today. When her vest failed to detonate, she said she ``left running'' with other people in the hotel. The television footage also showed the bomb belt that failed to detonate.
