Jordan condemns beheading of US citizen in Iraq
Washington, 12 May 2004 - Jordan strongly condemns the barbaric act
committed against Mr. Nick Berg, a US contractor in Iraq, by the terrorist group
headed by Abu Musa'ab Al Zarqawi.
Jordan has issued a death sentence against Al Zarqawi for his terrorist
activities which threatened to kill thousands of Jordanian citizens and for
plotting attacks against US and foreign interests in Jordan.
Jordan hopes that Al Zarqawi will be brought to justice in order to restore
stability in Iraq.
