Jordan denies the existence of American forces to strike Iraq

The Jordanian Minister of Information who is the official spokesman for the Jordanian government Muhammad al-Edwan has denied categorically the information quoted by the Lebanese daily Assafir on that there are American forces in Jordan in preparations for carrying out military operations against Iraq.

In a statement to the Jordanian daily al-Rai issued on Sunday, al- Edwan added that the information is totally fabricated and groundless.

He reiterated Jordan's clear and unwavering position in rejecting any military strike against Iraq.

Al-Edwan described these news as aiming at doubting Jordan's fixed stand, stressing that Jordan did not and will not permit its territories, any way, to interfere in the internal affairs of its neighbors.
