Jordan airs confessions of al-Qaida suspects who allegedly planned bomb and poison gas attacks AMMAN, Jordan (AP) State television aired a videotape of four men admitting they were part of an al-Qaida plot to attack the U.S. Embassy and other targets in Jordan using a combination of conventional and chemical weapons.
A commentator on the tape aired Monday said the suspects had prepared enough explosives to kill 80,000 people.
One of the alleged conspirators, Azmi Al-Jayousi, said that he was acting on the orders of Abu-Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian wanted by the United States for allegedly organizing terrorists to fight U.S. troops in Iraq on behalf of al-Qaida. U.S. officials have offered a $10 million reward for his capture.
Jordan disclosed the plot earlier this month and said it had arrested several suspects. Four other terror suspects believed linked to the conspiracy died in a shootout with police in Amman last week.
