Abul Ragheb: Folley's assassinate hides in northern Iraq

Originally published

The Jordanian Prime minister Ali Abul Ragheb has announced that the official in al-Qaida organization who ordered the killing for the US diplomat in Amman in October is most expectedly hiding in Iraq's Kurdistan, near the borders with Iran.

Talking about Fadeil Nazzal- al-Khaleylah, known as Abu Musaab al-Zarqawi, Abu al-Ragheb said " we do think that he is somewhere between North Iraq and the borders with Iran." He added that when we say he is in Iraq, this does not means we indicate to the Iraqi territories which fall under the control of the government."

Jordan had announced that al-Zarqawi was the one who gave orders to one Jordanian and one Libyan, arrested on Saturday, to kill the American diplomat Laurence Folley who was assassinated near his house to the east of Amman.

Abul Ragheb also indicated a link between al-Zarqawi and an Islamic movement which calls its name al-Ansar (the partisans), expected to be active in North Iraq and along its border with Iran.
