| Jordan opposition condemns "dirty war of extermination" |
| 2001-10-08 |
Jordan's key Islamic opposition party on Monday condemned the United States's "dirty war" on Afghanistan which it said was aimed at exterminating a people without resources. "This is a dirty war of extermination against a primitive Muslim people who have no resources and who cannot face up to the destructive American war machine," the secretary general of the Islamic Action Front (IAF) told AFP. "We always denounce terrorism, under all its forms, terrorism by individuals, organisations or state terrorism," Abdel Latif Arabiyat said, adding that US attacks launched Sunday on Afghanistan belonged to the latter. "What the United States is now launching represents the highest level of state terrorism and targets innocents, like Israel against the Palestinians," Arabiyat said. "With this war the United States is seeking to intimidate and bring to submission all the Arab and Muslim people," he said, recalling that two weeks ago US President George W. Bush spoke of a "crusade" against terrorism. |
