US embassy cable - 03AMMAN7151

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

(Complimentary opening)  With reference to the Embassy's note

request to investigate the presence of offices or other 
financial assets of terrorist-linked organizations in Jordan 
and welcoming any information about the subject cell (note:

the Embassy of Jordanian efforts in this regard.

Musa'ab al-Zarqawi," and discovered the activities of its 
members and the locations of their military training.

authorities in Germany with the available information 
regarding the cell's personnel arrested in Germany.
