Asia burning

Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the top merchant of terror, who is doing brisk business in Iraq, has decided to open his terror peddling network (al Qaeda in Iraq) in his country of birth - Jordan.



The two bombs turned crowded wedding parties into scenes of blood and panic at the Grand Hyatt and the nearby Radisson SAS in central Amman. A third blast targeted a Days Inn hotel. This is al Qaeda’s first strike in Jordan.



al Qaeda in Iraq, said in a statement on an Islamist website that “a group of our best lions” had carried out the attacks, the worst to hit Jordan in its modern history.



“Some hotels were chosen which the Jordanian despot had turned into a backyard for the enemies of the faith, the Jews and crusaders,” said the message in a reference to King Abdullah. Its authenticity could not be verified.



The group has killed the highest number of US soldiers & beheaded numerous people from other countries who went to Iraq on various activities - from construction to humanitarian, after kidnapping them. He loves doing that, so made videos of the beheadings that Zarqawi himself is believed to have carried out. Check out the free video library in Ogrish. But mind you, I am not recommending it to anyone.



This made Uncle Sam put a $25 million bounty on Zarqawi, who comes from a town north of Amman.



King Abdullah blamed a “deviant and misled group.” Foreign Minister Farouq Kasrawi said the attacks would not alter the policies of the kingdom, which is a close U.S. ally.



Ok, now Uncle Sam is in a soup, so are the countries that welcomed US to launch a war against Iraq - an event that proved to be Uncle Sam’s biggest gift to the Osama Inc. So where is the middle-east heading to? US supported despots are despots no matter which side they are on; be it Hosni Mubarak of Egypt or Abdullah of either Saudi Arabia or Jordan. Only a radical change in US outlook towards the common people of Arabia and addressing their concerns about freedom, democracy, faith etc. will make people discard these terrorists who are now heroes in the eyes of the oppressed people of Middle East.
