Family severs links with al-Qaida terror leader

Family members of Jordanian-born al Qaida in Iraq chief Abu Musab al-Zarqawi have renounced the terror leader, telling King Abdullah II today that they would “sever links with him until doomsday".

Al-Zarqawi, whose real name is Ahmed Fadeel Nazzal al-Khalayleh, claimed responsibility for the November 9 deadly attacks on three Amman hotels, which killed 58 people.
