Jordan-Israel, Politics, 12/7/2000

The director of Jordan's department at the Israeli foreign ministry Ofeir Afeiran has doubted the Jordanian security measures taken to protect the Israeli embassy team in Jordan.

In an interview with the Israeli Hebrew language army radio Afeiran said that the ignorance shown by the executors on Tuesday's operation against one member staff of the Israeli embassy in Amman of the Israeli security guards and not touching any of them raises a big question mark which states that the executors of this operation knew about the Israeli security measures, especially as the Israeli guards are equipped with garments and defense means that protect them from fire bullet and that is not precisely known but by the Jordanian security authorities. Afeiran remarks indicated a possible direct cooperation between the Jordanian security authorities and the executors of the operation against the member of the Israeli embassy staff Shloumo Razabi.

Worthy mentioning that Razabi who was hit by several bullets in his led at "Jabal Amman" district returned back to Israel on Wednesday after the Israeli authorities decided to evacuate most of the families of the Israeli diplomats in Jordan.
