JORDAN - Dec. 14 - Two Al Qaida Members Arrested.

Information Minister Mohammad Adwan says two Al Qaida members have been arrested in the Oct. 28 assassination of US aid official Laurence Foley. A Libyan, Salem Saad Bin Suweid, confessed to the police that he stalked Foley for several days, then waited with a silencer-equipped pistol behind the car Foley drove to work at the US Embassy each morning. Suweid told the police that he shot Foley at least a half-dozen times and then dashed to a waiting rental car driven by Yasser Fatih Ibrahim, a Jordanian who is also in custody. Both men admitted their roles in the killing, which they said was carried out on the instructions of a superior in Al Qaida whom they had first met in Afghanistan, where all three trained in camps run by the terrorist network. The men identified their superior as Abu Musab Zarqawi, an Al Qaida lieutenant and Jordanian who is wanted for his role in a plot to bomb hotels in Amman and Europe in Dec. 1999 during millennium celebrations. Zarqawi's real name is Ahmad Fadeel Al Khalaylah. On Dec. 18, PM Ali Abu Al Ragheb said Khalaylah had fled to northern Iraq and was now with the Ansar Al Islam group, which controls a patch of rugged territory inside Kurdish-held northern Iraq. Ragheb said the Al Ansar rebels were opposed by governments in both Iran and Iraq. He said: "We believe he is somewhere in the northern part of Iraq on the borders with Iran".
