Information Bureau
Statement by Jordan's
Government Spokesman Naser Joudeh on the Killing of Abu
Musab Al Zarqawi
Amman, Jordan, June 8, 2006 - The
investigation and search for Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, from
early stages of the operation, involved security
collaboration between all concerned parties,
particularly Jordanian Security agencies, that helped
trace the sites that Zarqawi and his group frequently
stayed at.
Zarqawi is wanted for the heinous crimes that he has
committed and declared responsibility thereof in
Jordan's capital, Amman. Such crimes above all, include
the November 2005 attacks that targeted three hotels and
resulted in the death of over 60 innocent people and
injured many. Zarqawi is wanted from a number of
countries for his crimes in Iraq and else where as he is
also wanted, and sentenced in absentia in Jordan.
The military operation that was conducted yesterday by
Iraqi police and multinational forces in Iraq that
targeted Zarqawi, involved a Jordanian security role in
the operation. Terrorism is an international concern
that knows no borders. Jordan is committed as ever, in
sparring no effort in fighting terrorism in all its
forms and our security forces will continue to ensure
peace and stability for all Jordanians.
