Zarqawi sentenced in absence

Jordan’s military court today sentenced wanted terror leader Abu-Musab al-Zarqawi to 15 years jail and a detained associate to three years behind bars for the 2003 Jordanian Embassy attack in Baghdad that killed 18 people.

The court convicted al-Zarqawi, Iraq’s most wanted terrorist, and Al-Miqdad Mohammad al-Dabbas, 24, of conspiracy to attack the embassy.
