| 'Four' suicide bombers |
| 2005-11-11 |
| Four Iraqis, including a husband and wife, carried out the triple suicide bombings against luxury hotels in the Jordanian capital, Al-Qaeda's branch in Iraq said in an internet statement today. "The group charged with planning, preparing and implementing (the attacks) was made up of three men: commanders Abu Khabib, Abu Muaz and Abu Omaira. Their fourth was the venerable sister Om Omaira," said the statement. "All the members of the group were Iraqis," said the statement, whose authenticity could not be verified, adding: "Om Omaira chose to follow her husband, Abu Omaira, on the path of a martyr." At least 57 people died and hundreds were wounded in bomb blasts at three luxury hotels in the Jordanian capital on Wednesday. In Amman a hospital source said the head of a woman believed to be a suicide bomber was found among the remains of the victims at one of the hotels. "We received a woman's head and mangled body remains," the source said. "This usually is the case when you are dealing with a suicide, the body is ripped apart and often the head is intact. This was such a case." |
