Al-Qaida has claimed responsibility for the three suicide bombings in Jordan that killed at least 57 people, according to a message posted on the Internet on Thursday. "A group of lions of al-Qaida ... launched a new attack on some of the dens in the land of the Muslims in Amman," the Web posting said. It claimed that despite security measures, "some al-Qaida soldiers were able to reach their targets and carry out their duties." The statement was signed in the name of the spokesman for al-Qaida in Iraq, a group which is led by the Jordanian-born Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.More about:Al-Qaeda, Amman, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Jordanfunction initServerVars() { _headup.clientHost = 'http://newstopics.jpost.com'; _headup.termsFromServer = 'Al-Qaida$$Amman$$Abu Musab al-Zarqawi$$Jordan$$Iraq'; _headup.annotatedTerms = ['dbpedia:Al-Qaeda$$1', 'dbpedia:Amman$$1'] _headup.widgetMode = 'snippet'; _headup.snippetButtonStyle = 'banner'; _headup.blackListedUrl = false; } <!-- Terms Count: 5 TTL: 60 Terms From Server: Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Al-Qaida, Jordan, Amman, Iraq DateTime: 6/2/2011 6:34:11 AM -->
