UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan has put off plans to travel to Amman on Thursday after bombings of three international hotels in the Jordanian capital, UN officials said on Wednesday.
"I ain't staying in the Radisson! You can't make me stay in the Radisson!" | Annan had decided at the last minute to visit Amman after canceling a trip to Tehran in response to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejadâs call for Israel to be âwiped off the map.â
"I ain't going to Teheran, either! Those people are crazy!" | âIn light of current events he put off a trip to Jordan,â UN spokesman Farhan Haq said in New York. The UN leader was in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Wednesday.
"They can't get me here, can they?" | Annan, in a statement, strongly condemned the âterrorist bombingsâ in Amman and sent his condolences to the families of the victims and the people and government of Jordan. |
