A spokesman for the Iraqi government says that Jordan is allowing family members of Saddam Hussein to raise money to finance the terrorists: Iraq Accuses Jordan of Allowing Financing of Insurgency. (Hat tip: Yank in the EU.)

BAGHDAD, Iraq, Aug. 21 - The Iraqi government accused Jordan on Sunday of allowing family members of Saddam Hussein to finance an insurgent campaign to destabilize Iraq and restore the Baath Party.

“I am sorry to say there are a lot of figures, not only senior regime members, but those who supervise the terrorist groups, in Jordan,” Laith Kubba, a spokesman for Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari, told reporters.

Mr. Hussein’s relatives “live there and have huge sums of money, and they are supporting political and media activities and other efforts to revive the Baath Party,” Mr. Kubba said, calling it “unacceptable.”

Two newspapers in Jordan on Sunday published a letter they said was from Mr. Hussein in which he said he was preparing to be “sacrificed.”

And remember, Jordan is the showcase “moderate” Arab dictatorship.
