Death Threat Against Jordan's King Abdullah

An Islamist website recently posted a statement by the Islamic State of Iraq, titled "The Assembly of the Unsuccessful," which includes a death threat against King Abdullah II of Jordan. The document accuses the Arab governments, especially those of Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, of using Sheikh Hareth Al-Dhari to harm the mujahideen.[1] The message ends with the following threat addressed to the King of Jordan: "Wait patiently. You sought to surpass your treasonous grandfather [King] Abdullah [I] in your [mis]deeds, and you will soon meet a fate similar to his [i.e. assassination]. We call upon the lions of Jordan… to lie in wait for [King Abdallah II]…"

[1] Sheikh Hareth Al-Dhari , Secretary-General of the Muslim Scholars' Association, fled to Egypt after an arrest warrant was issued against him by the Iraqi government, and later spoke against the mujahideen at a Cairo press conference.
