Amman :

The Jordanian government has given the names of three Iraqi men and an Iraqi woman who took part in the suicide attacks against luxury hotels in Amman.

Deputy Prime Minister Marwan Al Muasher said the woman, who failed to blow herself up and is now in custody, is the wife of one of the attackers and the sister of a lieutenant of Abu Musab Al Zarqawi, the leader of Al Qaida in Iraq.

Muasher identified the three Iraqi bombers who died in the attack as Ali Hussein Ali Al Shamari, from Anbar; Rawad Jassem Mohammad Abed, 23; and Safaa Mohammad Ali, 23.

Al Shamari’s wife was identified as Sajida Mubarak Atrous al-Rishawi, 35, the sister the slain former militant Mubarak Atrous Al Rishawi.

Muasher said the woman accompanied her husband into a wedding hall in one of the hotels and that when her suicide belt failed to blow up the husband pushed her outside before detonating himself.

He showed pictures of the explosives belt worn by the woman, which he said show “the metal balls that were also attached to the belt so that they can inflict the largest number of casualties.”

Muasher told a news conference on Sunday that the attackers entered Jordan four days before Wednesday’s near-simultaneous attacks.

Iraq’s Al Qaida, led by Jordanian-born Zarqawi, has claimed responsibility for the blasts that killed 57 people at three hotels in Amman.

It said in an Internet statement that a married couple and two other men - all Iraqis - had carried out the attacks.

On Saturday, Muasher said the attackers were three males, but rejected speculation that a woman had been among them.

I don’t want to know what will happen to her. I wish she was never born.
