(AP-New York Times) Jordan's new justice minister, Hussein Mjali, on Monday joined protesters in Amman demanding the early release of Jordanian army Corp. Ahmed Daqamseh who shot dead seven Israeli school girls in 1997 during an outing near Jordan's border with Israel. Mjali was the soldier's former lawyer. Israeli Embassy spokeswoman Merav Horsandi said it "is difficult for us to comprehend how there are people who support the release of a cold-blooded murderer of young children....Israel cannot imagine a situation in which such a vile murderer will be set free by Jordan."
