Married pair among Jordan bombers

An internet statement in the name of al Qaida in Iraq has claimed the deadly hotel bombings in Jordan were carried out by four Iraqis, including a husband and wife.

The statement could not be authenticated, but it appeared on a site which has included past al Qaida statements and was signed in the name of the group's spokesman, Abu Maysara al-Iraqi. Wednesday's attacks on the Grand Hyatt, Radisson SAS and Days Inn hotels in the Jordanian capital Amman killed at least 60 people, including three bombers.

The statement said one of the bombers was a woman "who chose to accompany her husband to his martyrdom".

"All of these are Iraqis from the land between the two rivers," the statement said, alluding to Iraq's ancient name, Mesopotamia.

"They vowed to die and they chose the shortest route to receive the blessings of God."

Earlier, police said they had arrested at least 120 people, mainly Iraqis and Jordanians, in the nationwide manhunt for those behind the triple Amman hotel bombings.

"Scores have been rounded up in different parts of the country since the attacks," said a senior police official.

"They're of different nationalities, mainly Iraqis and Jordanians. The number of people interrogated now is 120.

"We don't know if any of them were involved in the attacks or assisted the suicide bombers," the official said. "Many may simply be innocent."

I was touched by the story with the wife wanting to be with her husband when he committed martyrdom. Then it occured to me - he wouldn't have any time for her in the afterworld. He will be busy with 70 virgins. (According to Islam)

They have been pushing this story all day primarily because it indicates the terrorists were from Iraq. They thusly can make the assertion that the Jordan bombing would not have occurred had US forces not have been there. Considering that the source was al Qaida, I think I'll be dubious of this.

I think she'll be fine but boy will he be disappointed, "Sturgeon? What am I going to do with 70 fish? And could someone turn up the fu**ing air please?"

Only a jihadi nutball or a New York Times reporter would believe anything scibbled by an "internet statement in the name of al Qaida in Iraq".

Have you noticed lately that when we hear about who the actual homicide bomber's were, we find out that they are more and more freaky weirdos? These are not fervent soldiers of jihad flinging themselves like in the days of Saladin.

Just like the London subway murderers, and one was even a young man from Jamaica! How freaky weird is that?

These people are really the bottom of the barrel losers in life, no wonder the left identifies with them.

Question: In al Qaida Heaven, when a husband and wife go up together, does the wife get to watch the husband fiddle with the 72 virgins...and vice versa?????

Serously,

I'm not joking,

The wife gets to take care of the virgins (do their laundry, fix their meals, do their hair etc).

It's all about hubby (so that is why most wive's usually just wave bye bye at suicide time, is my guess).

Manipulated by scum-bag Islamofacists who want power, not death, for themselves.

72 virgins rather than 70, please. Don't short change the dude. Of course they will waiting somewhere other than his next itinerary stop.

Correct, we had a freaky weirdo from Jamaica also. Is there supposed to be something to that in the point of freaky weirdos?
