TEHRAN, June 1 (MNA) - Al-Qaeda terrorist leader in Iraq Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has received treatment at a hospital in the Jordanian capital Amman amid tight security by Jordanian intelligence forces and under the supervision of the Jordanian King Abdullah II, the U.S.-based daily Arab Times reported on Wednesday.

There are reliable news in Jordan that al-Zarqawi was transferred to the Al-Hussein clinic in Oman where he received treatment in a section guarded by security forces, the Arabic-language daily claimed.

The news that al-Zarqawi has taken shelter in Jordan is quite likely since the Jordanian intelligence agency has a precedent of giving service to elements convicted of terrorism, informed sources in Jordan have announced.

I can't believe that the Hashemite King would do such a thing.

Also from Mehr 'News':
Americans and the Burning Bush TEHRAN, June 1 (MNA) -- It is popular these days in America to have bumper stickers on cars which say “Support the Troops”, “God Bless America”, and “Freedom isn’t Free.” Who is the latter message for? Is it for Americans who are losing family members in the military? Or for Iraqis who are losing everything for their freedom?

Rather unlikely. Jordan would have arrested him on the spot.

So the Iranians are officially stating he has gov't protection while he is being treated.

Hmm, who wants to bet he is in Iran and they are trying to point the target at another country? Who wants to bet that the Iranian secret service is providing that security detail?

Who wants to bet that the Iranian government has been a financial supporter from the beginning?

I am not so sure about Kuwait. They have not treated us as they should considering they only exist because we saved them.

If so, he must be disguised as a woman.

Zarqawi is just as wanted in Jordan as in Iraq.

Zarqawi tried in new terror case in Jordan

... It is the fourth case in which Zarqawi is being tried in absentia in Jordan, where he has already been sentenced to death for planning and carrying out ... More

Hmmm. Al-Zarqawi is a wanted man in Jordan and Jordan is generally a more reliable ally than any other Arab nation.

As a Muslim you want Zarqawi back on the front lines killing infidels and the Iraqi Shias who have turned their backs on God(Allah) and are going along with the infidel scum.

Any legal matters concerning Zarqawi have to wait. - tom

You're completely off.

The Hashemite royal family has zero motivation to assist a man who tried to bring down their government and who has advocated their assassination.

Medical treatment for Al-Zarqawi has Iranian fingerprints all over it and this story was posted from Tehran.

This is setting off my BS meter. Most likely the “reliable” news from Jordan was actually created in Iran or Syria.

NFW. If he so much as sets foot in Jordan, he's a gonner.

Complete disinfo. If he even gets within shootin' distance of the Jordanian border, he's toast. In reality, I would bet dollars to donuts he was treated in either Syria or Iran.

Au contraire, I strongly suspect that it is THIS THREAD's story that is disinfo.
