AMMAN, Jordan - Jordan's military court convicted Monday a man posted Web poems sympathetic to al-Qaida and Osama bin Laden and sentenced him to 18 months in prison for slandering Jordan's king.
Mohammed al-Zuhairi had become known on Islamic militant Web sites as the "poet of al-Qaida" for his verses praising bin Laden, the slain al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and other figures in the terror network, according to the indictment sheet.
Among the messages were lines harming the dignity of Jordan's King Abdullah II, prosecutors said. Al-Zuhairi was arrested and charged last August.

Burqa bomber kills 16
Tuesday, October 02, 2007
PESHAWAR: A suicide bomber disguised in a woman’s burqa blew himself up at a busy police checkpost in Bannu, NWFP on Monday, killing at least 16 people including four policemen, officials said. “A man disguised in a burqa got out of an auto-rickshaw when police stopped the vehicle for a search at a checkpoint. He then blew himself up,” police officer Asar Islam told AFP.
Examination of the remains “confirmed that it was a male suicide bomber” wearing women’s clothing, while initial reports of a possible female attacker had been discounted, Bannu police chief Ameer Hamza Mahsud said. 29 people injured: Interior Ministry spokesman Brig Javed Cheema said 16 people were killed and 29 were wounded and that authorities were investigating the blast.
