| Militants on trial in a Jordanian military court shocked judges and lawyers with confessions that they planned to target âinfidel collaborators of the Americans and Israelis in the Jordanian kingdom,â newspaper reports said on Thursday. Reports in the regional dailies al-Hayat and al-Sharq al-Awsat said nine out of the 13 militants on trial for allegedly planning a chemical attack in Amman in 2004 shocked everyone in the court room with their defiant testimonies. âOur Sheikh Abu Musaab Al Zarqawi said that if we had chemical weapons we would have hit Tel Aviv and the traitor collaborator (Jordanian) regime,â said Hussein Sharif, one of the accused men, as quoted by al-Hayat. The accused include Al Qaedaâs leader in Iraq, Jordanian fugitive Al Zarqawi and three other fugitives who are being tried in absentia. Jordanian security foiled the attempted attack against the Jordanian Intelligence headquarters in Amman in April 2004. Jordanian officials say that had it been carried out, thousands of people would have died. âI came back to Jordan to perform the Islamic duty of jihad (holy war) and kill the infidel rulers and government officials who spread corruption for the interest of their American and Jewish masters,â said Hassan Omar al-Samik. Al-Hayat quoted al-Samik as saying the group wanted to target the intelligence headquarters because it is the âmain spear of infidelityâ. Syrian militant Anas Samir told the prosecution he was âone of the arrows of Allahâ. âI am ready to fight Jordan in the name of Allah because you stand guard for the Americans and the Israelis,â Samir said. |

| #2 I think this "arrow of Allah" has focussed attention on the Islamic Jihadis' problem, trying to fight a 21st century infidel with an 8th century mindset. Arrow of Allah, meet JDAM of Uncle Sam. |
