Jordan sentences Zarqawi and 8 militants to death

Jordan sentenced to death on Wednesday nine al Qaeda militants, including four in absentia among them Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, for a plot to launch chemical attacks against government and U.S. targets in the kingdom.

The verdict is Jordan's fourth death sentence in absentia against Zarqawi, al Qaeda's leader in Iraq. He and the others, five of whom are held, were found guilty of planning the attacks which were thwarted in April 2004.

2. I think Jordan sentenced Chalabi to do some time there, as well.

I wonder if anyone could find him.
