It is regrettable to say that until now there are big numbers of elements, not only former regime elements, but supervisors of some terrorist groups who are now in Jordan.

[The] former regime elements ... seem to have very good operational secrecy, ... And thus far it's not been that easy to make a dent in that part of the insurgency.

Even those members of this network who are arrested know nothing (about the organisation) except noms de guerre and symbols.

I hope that these attacks will wake up the 'Jordanian street' to end their sympathy with Saddam's remnants ... who exploit the freedom in this country to have a safe shelter to plot their criminal acts against Iraqis.

These are only desperate attempts by the terrorists, ... If you take a look on the abilities of these terrorist groups and also take a look on the new support for Iraq, I believe that the support to Iraq will prevail.

There is a date set for October 19,
