Jordan bombings

The suicide bombings at Amman, Jordan killed at least 57 people and wounded nearly 100.

Again we find sick people killing innocent lives.
These people think they can find God's favor by killing innocent blood.

Yesterday we heard about the mastermind Dr. Azahari being killing in a shootout with the Indonesian police. Azahari was the man behind the bomb trainings for equipping suicide bombers and was implicated in the Bali bombs, Marriot hotel bombs and and several others.

A previous statement issued "They vowed to die and they chose the shortest route to receive the blessings of God". Azahari's wife said that her husband had left the family to seek a higher calling and service to their God called Allah. What kind of sick beliefs are this that a God can take delight in killing innocent people.

The bombers suspected in the Amman event are Abu Khabib, Abu Muaz, Abu Omaira and Om Omaira.
Al-Qaeda issued a statement to say that they bombed the hotels(Grand Hyatt, Days Inn and Radisson SAS hotels) because they felt that the hotels were used to discuss wars on Islam.

Did they kill Bush? No.
Did they kill Rice? No.
Did they kill Putin? No.

Who did they kill?
The dead that were identified from Grand Hyatt, Amman alone were:
33 Jordanians
6 Iraqis
3 Palestinians
2 Bahrainis
1 Saudi
1 American
1 Syrian-born American
1 Indonesian
2 Chinese

Also, a Jordanian wedding was going on at the hotel and it caused carnage at the wedding reception. Hey, these are local people, Jordanian - with many of them Muslims.

UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, visited Jordan on Friday, and said: "No ideology can justify the killing of innocent people."

Can we hear a loud Amen from the international community.

Here are several quotes from around the world:

US PRESIDENT GEORGE W BUSH

These barbaric acts again demonstrated the terrible cruelty of the terrorists and the great toll they take on civilised society. To the people of Jordan and King Abdullah, we pledge our full support in their efforts to bring the terrorists to justice. Jordan is a key ally in the war on terror and will have all assistance we can offer.

EU FOREIGN POLICY CHIEF JAVIER SOLANA

The devastation that terrorist madness has provoked... among innocent people is unjustifiable. Terrorism is an aggression to the values shared by all of us.

UK FOREIGN SECRETARY JACK STRAW

My immediate thoughts go to the families and friends of the many who have been murdered or injured in such indiscriminate attacks. I have written to his majesty the king of Jordan expressing our deepest condolences. We must stand together in this battle against the scourge of terrorism.

JAPANESE FOREIGN MINISTRY

Terrorism cannot be justified for any reason. Our country reiterates our strong condemnation against such cruel acts of terrorism that victimise many innocent people.

PALESTINIAN PRIME MINISTER AHMED QUREI

We condemn this attack vehemently. It's a criminal attack that targeted innocent civilians.

FRENCH PRESIDENT JACQUES CHIRAC AND SPANISH PRIME MINISTER JOSE LUIS ZAPATERO

With this cowardly strike on Jordan, the terrorists seek in vain to strike all those who have chosen the path of peace and dialogue, of democracy and tolerance.

IRAQ GOVERNMENT SPOKESMAN LAITH KUBBA

Before yesterday it's fairly clear there was some kind of sympathy for these fundamentalists in Jordan. I hope it will be a wake-up call to ordinary people about what is really going on in Iraq, so they will know the reality of the fundamentalists and terrorists.

KING BHUMIBOL ADULYADEJ OF THAILAND

I am greatly saddened by the news of the tragic bombings in Amman, which have caused considerable loss of lives... Please accept my heartfelt sympathy and sincere condolences for this tragic incident. I also wish the wounded a speedy and safe recovery.

NEW ZEALAND PRIME MINISTER HELEN CLARK

Terrorist attacks of any kind must be condemned, but those which target innocent bystanders are particularly abhorrent. Our sympathies go first and foremost to the people of Jordan, and those suffering as a result of this attack.
