Jordanian police kill 'militants'
2004-04-20
Jordanian police have killed three suspected militants, officials say. They say the three were shot dead on Tuesday in the capital, Amman, following a tip off.
"Shot Dead" has a nice ring to it.
The suspects belonged to "an armed group which had plotted to carry out terror attacks" in Jordan, according to a police statement.
Would that be the group planning the chemical attack? You know, the one that no one is talking about.
On Tuesday police stormed a house in eastern parts of Amman where the suspects had been hiding, the statement said. Officers urged the suspects to surrender, but they replied with gunfire, it added.
"This is the police! Come out with your hands up!"
"You'll never take us alive!"
"Ok."
An official quoted by the French news agency AFP said one of the suspects was Jordanian and the other two were foreigners.
Foreigners, huh? Like maybe, Syrian?

#2  mojo - they didn't say when they were "killed". Could've been after a lengthy interrogation from lack of medical treatment, no? How did they know they were foreigners? Passports? not likely...

just thinking aloud with my cynical hat on....
