Jordan sentences terrorist
to death for 2002 murdeii
By Jamal Halaby
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AMMAN, Jordan — Eight al-Qaida-linked
militants were convicted and sentenced to death
Tuesday in the murder of a U.S. aid employee in
2002, but six of them including a Jordanian ter
ror chief — remain at large.
The slaying of Laurence Foley in 2002 stunned
Jordan, a close U.S. ally and peace partner with
Israel. A subsequent police crackdown exposed a
terrorist cell that had allegedly planned Foley’s
assassination as the first of several attacks inside
the Arab country.
A U.S. Embassy issued a statement thanking
Jordanian authorities for “bringing those respon
sible for Larry’s murder to justice” after the 10-
month trial.
The statement vowed to “remain resolved to
continue his work to improve the lives of ordinary
Jordanians and to bring the people of our two
nations closer together.”
Foley, a 60-year-old Amman-based administra
tor for the U.S. Agency for International
Development, was gunned down outside his
Amman home on Oct. 28, 2002.
Military court president Col. Fawaz Buqour
sentenced Abu Musab al-Zarqawi — also known
as Ahmed al-Khalayleh — and seven other Arabs
to death for conspiring to murder Foley.
Al-Zarqawi is thought to be a close associated
of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden. He and five
others remain at large.
The Libyan man accused of pullinglhett
Salem bin Suweid, and the driver of the gtii
car, Jordanian Yasser Freihat, were incomtl
So were three Jordanians charged withe
acy. Mohammed Amin Abu-Saeed I
Mohammed De’mes received termsofsixd
years respectively, while Numan al-HiislI
acquitted after the court found there wasn;|
dence implicating him in the conspiracy.
The men had pleaded innocent and toldthi
their confessions had been extracted under« On
Sameeh Khreis, lawyer for the defendants. ii;B s P al
four men sentenced Tuesday will appeal the\! how he
U.S. officials have offered a $10million Jhi' 6 1
for the capture of al-Zarqawi, who is thougbnj
trying to build a network of foreign]
neighboring Iraq working on behalf of al-(
Shortly before the verdict, a manclaimy
al-Zarqawi released a tape calling for Iraq's!
Muslims to fight Shiites and claimingrespoil
ity for high-profile attacks there.
Jordan has blamed Foley’s killing onal-A
but prosecutors did not mention the terrorcB
the initial indictment.
They did say, however, that at least half ;■
suspects had links with al-Zarqawi, whoalJ
provided bin Suweid with weapons and
to finance the plot.
The indictment said bin Suweid began reel I
militants in Syria in 1997. He came to Jordan J
IVW using a forged Tunisian passport. Ant J
weapons, explosives and detonators had beeni
glecl from Iraq in batches starting in June!
Referendums

money from students,” McCaig
said.
Students also voted “no” to
the referendum that proposed
making the office of MSC presi
dent an elected position rather
than an appointed position.
The referendum failed by a 2
percent margin, or 249 votes,
said Matthew Wilkins, a junior
philosophy major and speaker of
Student Senate.
Wilkins said he expects the
office of MSC president to
become an elected position in
the future, and that the close
margin of the election is a signal
that students are unhappy about
the way the MSC is run.
“I don’t anticipate this issue
going away because about half
of the student body currently
feels disenfranchised by the
unrepresentative appointment
process,” Wilkins said. “People
will continue to call for a change
and I anticipate it being on the
ballot again next year.”
Elizabeth Dacus, a graduate
student in accounting andij
rent MSC president, saidtl
that the referendum didr
is proof that students
keep the MSC president i
unelected office.
“The MSC was founded!)
run in a way that is dial
from the student goveml
and our mission is verydiM
from that of student gotel
ment.” Dacus said.
Dacus said that if there hailif
more publicity about the MSCp;
idem referendum, the margmi
have been even greater.
