2014-12-19
[Ynet] Jordan's King Abdullah II told tribal chiefs in the country's south that "Daesh (the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
) is far from Jordan's borders.
What an odd thing to say. But no doubt His Majesty had his reasons.
However,

Jordan is in cooperation with all elements supporting tribes in Iraq and Syria who are fighting the terror organization."

The king added that "Daesh is a cross-border danger, an organization that targets all countries and will not stop in Iraq and Syria."
