AMMAN - Jordan has asked Iraq to extradite three men suspected of masterminding attacks earlier this month on a US warship docked in the Red Sea port of Aqaba and on the Israeli port of Eilat, Deputy Prime Minister Marwan Muasher announced on Monday. âWe are in touch with the Iraqi authorities to ensure the extradition of the suspects for trying them in Jordan,â Muasher said in a weekly media briefing.
| "All they gotta do is catch 'em. We'll take it from there." |
Muasher denied that Iraqi Interior Minister Bayan Jabr, scheduled to visit Amman last Friday, postponed the trip in protest over Jordanâs failure to tighten security on the Iraqi border. âThe postponement of the Iraqi ministerâs visit (relates) to the approval of the draft of the new Iraqi constitution,â he said. |
