Zarqawi claims Amman bombings: Full Text
Replaced previous post with full text:
The text of a claim of responsibility posted on the Internet Thursday for hotel bombings in Amman, Jordan, as translated from Arabic by the Associated Press. The claim could not be authenticated, but it appeared on an Islamic Web site that acts as a clearing house for statements by militant groups. The statement was signed in the name of the spokesman for al-Qaida in Iraq, a group led by the Jordanian-born Abu Musab al-Zarqawi:
"In the blessed days when the lions of al-Tawhid are struggling with the crusade tyranny and the Shiite perfidy on the land of the two rivers and making the greatest epics,
"A group of lions ... have launched a new attack against some dens that were planted in the Muslim land in Amman. After studying and watching the targets, some places were chosen and they were made by the tyrant of Jordan as a backyard garden for the enemies of the religion - Jews and crusaders - and a filthy place for the traitors of this nation and a safe haven for the infidels' Mukhabarat that run conspiracies against the Muslims and a center for prostitution.
"Despite the security measures provided by the traitor to protect those dens, the al-Qaida soldiers were able to reach their targets and carry out the duties, according to the information we have. Details of the attack and people who fulfilled them will be announced later on. Let the tyrant of Jordan know that the protecting walls for the Jews built in Jordan and the backyard camp for the crusaders' army is now in the range of fire of the mujahedeen."
