Al-Qaeda: Foiled Jordan Attack Not Chemical
(Reuters) - Al-Qaeda planned an attack on Jordanian intelligence services but not using chemical weapons as Amman has charged, according to a new audio tape purportedly from leading al-Qaeda figure Abu Musab al-Zarqawi aired on Friday. "Yes, the plan was to totally destroy the building of the intelligence apparatus," he said. "(But) their claims of unimaginable casualties and that it was a chemical bomb that would have killed thousands of people is a pure lie....God knows, that if we possessed such a bomb that we would not have hesitated for a second to avidly seek to strike Israeli cities such as Eilat, Tel Aviv, and others."
