AMMAN, 27 April 2004 — Jordan’s King Abdallah yesterday called for “a political solution” to terrorism by addressing its root causes, including the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

He added that “killing of terrorists” represented only a partial solution.

“It is not neutralizing terrorists or killing terrorists that is the major responsibility or problem that we have to face ... getting rid of terrorists is part of the problem. It is understanding why we have terrorism, why we have extremism,” he said at the opening of a conference on the role of special forces in modern wars and national defense.

“The root causes of terrorism and extremism is a political issue and all of us in the Middle East will point out that the Israeli-Palestinian problem is one of the main causes for extremism and terrorism,” he said.
