this is not a tragedy. It will only delay us for six months and we will start from scratch.

A delay is not a good thing, but it's not a disaster.

This is not an easy thing to do. Despite all the condemnation from states who want us to abolish capital punishment, I think capital punishment will help us deter some criminals.

I hope that these attacks will wake up the 'Jordanian street' to end their sympathy with Saddam's remnants ... who exploit the freedom in this country to have a safe shelter to plot their criminal acts against Iraqis.

It is regrettable to say that until now there are big numbers of elements, not only former regime elements, but supervisors of some terrorist groups who are now in Jordan.

Even those members of this network who are arrested know nothing (about the organisation) except noms de guerre and symbols.
