Zarqawi Threatens Jordan

Terrorist thug Zarqawi has threatened to make Amman, Jordan, into another Baghdad unless King Abdullah bends over to his demands. Abu, the Baby Killer, wants Jordan to close the Israeli Embassy in Amman and the Jordanian Embassy in Baghdad. He also wants Iraqi prisoners released from prison. This latest threat comes on the heels of a previous threat by Zarqawi to behead King Abdullah.

The details of the demands are outlined in a DEBKA report. Mac Powell provides an overview at In The Bullpen.

From my long-distance perspective, it seems that Zarqawi is pulling off some type of flea-flicker tactic to draw enhanced media attention. It doesn't seem reasonable for him to expect Jordan to roll over to his threats. If anything, his recent actions toward Jordan have had a backlash effect. According to this report, the Jordanians have become defiant.
