Listen to an interview with Oula Farawati, correspondent for Free Speech Radio News and Radio France International from Amman Jordan. This interview addresses the Wednesday, November 9th bombings in the Jordanian capital in the context of the ongoing U.S. lead occupation of Iraq.
Upwards of 60 people, mainly Jordanians were killed in the attacks, while over 120 people have already been arrested in connection with the bombings. Jordanian authorities have paraded internationally a captured female bomber, Sajida Mubarak al-Rishawi, who comes from the Iraqi city of Ramadi, the sister of a slain lieutenant of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi of al-Quade in Iraq.
Al-Qaida in Iraq has reportedly claimed responsibility for the attacks, which have resulted in major demonstrations in Amman protesting the recent attacks, the ongoing occupation of Iraq and it's role in the growing political instability throughout the region.
