At the Counterterrorism Blog: Jordan arrests Zarqawi’s brother-in-law and an Al Jazeera journalist live!
A few hours ago, while an Al Jazeera journalist was interviewing Abu Kadama, Zarqawi’s brother-in-law in Zarqa, Jordan, the broadcast was suddenly interrupted, most probably by Jordan. Because when the journalist came back on the air, he said that Abu Kadama had just been arrested by Jordanian services. Then a second sudden interruption occured, and when the Al Jazeera anchor appeared, he announced that his journalist colleague had also been arrested by Jordan. Keep in mind that Jordan’s King Abdullah was one of Zarqawi’s main targets. In light of recent foiled Al Qaeda attacks in Jordan, it seems reasonable to think that Abdullah wanted to show his resolve against Zarqawi’s sympathizers.
