In 30 days, it will be 19 years since a #Sbarro pizzeria was bombed with 15 killed, 130 injured. On last year's anniversary, the @ADL Anti-Defamation League posed troubling questions to US A-G William P. Barr re Jordan blocking the bomber's extradition. They're blocking still.
Jordan doesn't claim #AhlamTamimi, the woman who planted the bomb, is innocent. No one does. It's made her an icon, a national hero. The Jordanians stare right back at you if you ask why they breach their 1995 Extradition Treaty and keep her safe and famous in their capital.
The US makes clear its treaty with Jordan is valid and binding. And this isn't one of those cases where there's a dispute about who did what to whom. The bomber appears often on Arab TV screens boasting of the details. So why do US Congresspeople duck and weave when we ask...
why they honor Jordan's king, one of the most frequent visitors to Washington's halls of power?
Not one of them has ever responded to our questions.
Our child died in that bombing.
It's time the US tells Jordan's govt what's expected of them.
It's time justice was done.
If you agree, and even if you're just furious with all this deception, please sign our petition calling on the US to ensure that Jordan, massively dependent on US military and financial aid, lives up to its clear legal and diplomatic obligations:
