TV confession of failed suicide bomber
An Iraqi woman appeared on Jordanian television today confessing to a failed bid to set off an explosives belt inside one of the three Amman hotels targeted by al-Qaida.
“My husband wore an (explosives-packed) belt and I wore another. He told me how to use it,” said Sajida Mubarak Atrous al-Rishawi, 35, who was shown on state-run TV wearing a white head scarf, black gown and the disabled bomb strapped around her waist.
