Al Zarqawi is a product of Jordan prison torture, I’ve seen a BBC documentary of the village where he grew up. Nearly all interviewed villagers supported his actions in the first six months of the Iraq invasion and occupation by the U.S. Armed Forces.

Suicide bombers hit hotels in Jordan’s capital
Zarqawi Jordan Attack: “It’s Personal”!
In message on a website with claim by Al Zarqawi for Jordanian multiple bomb attack killing sixty innocent Jordanians, he gave away important information to investigators that there was a married couple involved. This lead gave the investigators the opening to hunt for the Iraqi woman.
The golden tip came from a doorman, which led to the safe house used by the suicide bombers. The woman Sajida Mubarak Atrous Al-Rishawi was apprehended near the safe house and within hours was paraded before TV cameras as a message by investigators to Al Zarqawi.
According to a CNNi report today with interview of a Jordanian man who shared the prison cell with Al Zarqawi, he is a vindictive person and wants his revenge for the torture he endured at the hands of a Jordanian man who now leads the bombing investigation.
A statement on an Islamist Web site in which al-Qaida claimed responsibility for the attacks said the three hotels — the Radisson, the Grand Hyatt, and the Days Inn — were targeted because King Abdullah, the Jordanian ruler had turned them into “a backyard for the enemies of the faith, the Jews and crusaders.”
Al-Zarqawi’s Hometown Torn Over Bombings
ZARQA, Jordan Nov 13, 2005 — In this rundown industrial town where the al-Qaida leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was born, residents expressed anger, skepticism and dismay Saturday that one of their own could be behind Amman’s triple bombings that killed 57 people, mostly Arabs and Muslims.
Right, the side of Arafat and the Palestinians, thinking Saddam Hussein was the best choice to balance powers in the Middle East in opposition to the Israelis. The King of the Hashemite dynasty, claims to be protector of an Islam Holy Place in Saudi Arabia and it was promised by Saddam to be returned under Jordan’s protection.
King Hussein had a huge Palestinian refugee problem, see also Black September and the
root of years of terror as a result.
BBC News – Black September Plea to Israel
Israeli right-wing religious parties still have the biblical goal of Eretz Israel and do want to transfer all Palestinians across the Jordan river to the East bank.
Think one terror attack caused by U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq will change anything in Jordan? Don’t stop breathing. The Arabs know very well, the U.S. killed 100,000+ Iraqis in the past 2.5 years. Abu Ghraib will never be forgotten, just like the holocaust for the Jewish people across the globe.
An early U.S. plan for division of Iraq and creation of a Hashemite Kingdom.
I have predicted this type of attack as the phenomena was also seen in Chechnya.
DISILLUSIONED
Mediterranean temperament, undergoing some personal hardships, separation of parents, one parent passed away, feelings of western hostility towards Muslim community, no equality on labor market although highly qualified and educated. More often 2nd and 3rd generation nationals from Arab descent, deepening religious soul-searching, welcomed in mosques by foreign clerics as teachers of fundamental, pure Islam, attachment to a new ideology and vision of life, contacts with international brothers, focus on evil of the West.
All Islamist troublemakers in the Netherlands are well educated and very young from 16-23 years of age, Dutch citizens, double nationality with two passports and allegiance, traveled to Chechnya, Yemen, Middle East or Pakistan/Kashmir.

So, Oui, tell me what is your impression of this whole affair. I think something smells rotten here with this woman admitting her guilt. What do you think?
Exactly, this is a crock of shit.
Oui, what’s your take on the fact that (3) top Palestinian Secret Services officials were killed in the attack?
Israeli citizens getting warned as reported and then denied in Haaretz but then confirmed by a security expert in Israel to the LA Times?
Weird stuff.

wow, this is just what I was meaning earlier on , like yesterday. something just was not right with all this info coming out. It just didnt pass the smell test, for me anyhow.

Col. Larry Wilkerson, former Secretary of State Colin Powell’s chief of staff, told the audience of journalists and scholars:
“I’m not sure the State Department even exists anymore. It, like so many others things, have been destroyed by George W. Bush’s ‘cowboyism’. … you can’t sell shit.”
Thereby dismissing the Administration’s attempts to improve America’s image abroad.
IPS POLITICS-US:
Spreading Diplomacy 101
“There is a problem underpinning all U.S. public diplomacy in the Middle East and that is the extent to which Arabs actually understand the U.S. rather well and have reasons for disliking American actions based on U.S. policy.”
“A good public diplomacy response would be to show more of the debate within the U.S. so the Arab world understands there are plenty of people who disapprove of much of American-Israeli policy, and conversely that there are reasons why the U.S. behaves the way that it does.”
In the Middle East, Prof. Cull told IPS, “We are dealing with a different culture and cannot assume that a message will be received with the intent with which it was transmitted. What hope is there for Bush to say ‘sorry’ to the Arab world when he doesn’t seem to understand that no Arab takes an apology seriously unless the person apologising adds ‘and I ask you to forgive me’.”

In CNNi interview, Jordania offered explanation why Iraqi woman has been shown on television. In interview, some information was given: RDX explosive composition was used in all four suicide belts. No reason was given why fourth belt didn’t explode, some indication surfaces her husband asked her to leave the wedding room before he detonated his bomb jacket.
Al-Rishawi’s brother was once the right-hand man to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian leader of al-Qaida in Iraq, said deputy premier Marwan Muasher. He said the brother, Mubarak Atrous al-Rishawi, was killed in the former terrorist stronghold of Fallujah, Iraq.
Dyno Nobel offers three different qualities of RDX:
RDX, Type II
RDX, Type II with less than 3% HMX (“quasi Type I”)
RS-RDX

Is this the same RDX that disappeared from Al Qaaqa?
.
Explains the complete devastation and number of deaths in wedding party at the Radisson SAS hotel. Best place to detonate with maximum destruction from a corner in a closed hall.
High explosive RDX component, horrible if true Al Qaaqa as source, at least US forces definitely know who controls the lost explosives.

Jordanian authorities said Safaa Mohammed Ali, 23, was part of the al-Qaida in Iraq squad that bombed the Grand Hyatt, Radisson SAS and Days Inn hotels. In Baghdad, the U.S. command released information a man by that name was detained by American forces in November 2004 during their assault on the insurgent stronghold of Fallujah. The Americans said they did not know if the man they detained was the same Safaa Mohammed Ali identified by the Jordanians as one of the bombers.
“He was detained locally at the division detention facility” but was released two weeks later because there was no “compelling evidence to continue to hold him” as a “threat to the security of Iraq,” the military said.
The U.S. detention of thousands of Iraqis has been cited — especially by members of the Sunni Arab minority that fuels the insurgency — as a major motivation for the continuing campaign of violence.
Al-Rishawi, 35, from the Anbar provincial capital of Ramadi and the sister of al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi’s slain lieutenant in western Iraq, was arrested Sunday. Police swooped on a safe house in the Jordanian capital after they were tipped by al-Qaida in Iraq’s Internet claim that she had died in the attacks.
She was made to display the clothing she wore to the party in which at least 25 people were killed. She said her husband made all the arrangements for the plot and drove the group — apparently including Safaa Mohammed Ali and the other bomber Rawad Jassem Mohammed, both 23 — from Anbar to Amman, a roughly eight-hour trip across the bleak desert landscape.
Hers wasn’t the first televised confession by terror suspects detained by Jordanian police. In April 2004, at least four Jordanian and Syrian militants linked to al-Zarqawi detailed their plot to launch chemical bomb attacks in Amman, particularly against the General Intelligence Department.
“I don’t buy it. There are many contradictions, and it just doesn’t make sense,” said Mohammed al-Fakhiri, a 33-year-old cell phone shop owner in Amman. “The first thing she would have done is get rid of her explosive belt,” al-Fakhiri said. “So how come she was caught with it?”
