| Suspected al-Qaida operative Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and an accomplice were indicted in Jordan Tuesday for conspiring to carry out terrorist activities. The indictment accused Zarqawi and Jordanian Miqdad Mohammed Dabbas of plotting to bomb U.S. and Jordanian targets in Iraq. It was the second indictment against Zarqawi this year. Zarqawi and Dabbas met in Iraq in 2002 and reportedly became close friends. The indictment said Dabbas watched the Jordanian embassy in Baghdad so Zarqawi could carry out an attack against it, but did not say if they were responsible for last year's bombing that killed and wounded dozens of people. |
