US embassy cable - 05AMMAN3398

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.

REF: AMMAN 3231 
 
Classified By: CDA David Hale for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d) 
 
1.  (C)  Foreign Minister Qasrawi told Charge on April 28 
that King Abdullah's meeting earlier this month with Iraqi 
journalists visiting Jordan (reftel) was part of a focused 
strategy to improve relations with Iraq, strained after 
reports last month that a Jordanian carried out a suicide 
bombing in Hilla.  According to Qasrawi, positive Iraqi press 
coverage of Jordan has resulted from the King's efforts. 
Post would appreciate any observations Embassy Baghdad can 
offer on this subject. 
 
2.  (U)  Minimize considered.
