Jordan denies an agreement with Israel permitting the Israeli planes to attack Iraq through Jordanian airspace

The Jordanian minister of state for political affairs and minister of information Muhammad al-Edwan has denied the report by a British magazine speaking about an agreement according to which Jordan permits the Israeli planes to cross its airspace if an attack against Iraq will be carried out.

In a statement to the Lebanese daily al-Nahar issued on Sunday al-Edwan said a news as such does only deserve to be described as silly.
