Former Jordanian Minister Admits Recruiting, Sending Terrorists to Iraq
Former Jordanian Information Minister Saleh al-Alqalab admitted his country's role in recruiting and dispatching terrorists and suicide bombers to Iraq.
"I have played a major role in sending suicide bombers to Iraq," Alqalab was quoted by al-Borasa news agency as saying on Sunday. He also dismissed the reports that he is an opposition member or an adversary of the ruling system in Jordan, and added, "Allegations about my differences with Abdullah II, the Jordanian king, are just rumors." His remarks came just a while after a Jordanian terrorist detained at the Syrian border while smuggling arms and ammunitions for terrorist and rebel groups revealed in his confession that Salafi extremist groups in Jordan are supporting Syrian rebels and their sabotage activities. According to FNA dispatches, Abdul Rahman Jamal said in August that members of a Salafi group in Jordan had encouraged and helped him to move into Syria in a bid to fight the country's ruler (Bashar al-Assad.) Jamal said that he was tasked with supplying guns and ammunitions to so-called Free Syrian Army. "Unfortunately, we were puppets in their (Salafi groups) hands since they had no policy but destruction and annihilation. They looked at us as a means of attaining their interests," the detained terrorist stated.
