Jordan sentences 12 alleged anti-U.S. terrorists to jail
2005-09-12
Jordan sentenced 12 militants Sunday to prison terms ranging from 1œ years to 3 years for a terror conspiracy targeting the U.S. and Israeli embassies in this Arab country. Prosecutors accused the defendants of planning attacks on the embassies, located in the Jordanian capital, Amman, plus a hotel popular with Israeli tourists in the northern city of Irbid. The 12 defendants, who entered no pleas, were also accused of planning to attack the home of a cultural festival director as well as an American troupe performing at the annual event. The defendants were in court Sunday for the handing down of the guilty verdicts, which can be appealed. Another four defendants were acquitted for insufficient evidence.
