An aide to Iraq's most-wanted man, Abu Musab Al Zarqawi, on trial here for plotting attacks against Jordanian and US targets was beaten by his interrogators, defence witnesses said yesterday. Al Moqdad Mohammed Debbas "bears traces of blows on his feet and his toes and one of his arms", a judicial source quoted witnesses Khaled Jibran and Attiyeh Abdel Razzak as telling the state security court. Jibran and Abdel Razzak are both detained at the Jweidah prison where Debbas is jailed. He is charged along with Al Zarqawi of "conspiracy to carry out terrorist attacks" on Amman's embassy in Baghdad.
