Jordan condemns assassination of South Korean hostage in Iraq

Washington, DC, 22 June 2004 - Jordan strongly condemns the brutal assassination of South Korean Hostage in Iraq, Mr. Kim Sun-il by al Qaeda-linked group Monotheism and Jihad.

These barbaric acts of terror are utterly rejected by basic tenets of Islam and do not represent the majority of Muslims. Jordan supports the international community's efforts to combat such acts of terror and hopes that these terrorists will be brought to justice in order to restore stability in Iraq and the region.
