Death of Jordanian Policeman Who Died Guarding Israelis Fuels Threats
(Media Line) Adam Nicky - The death of a Jordanian tourism policeman who died while guarding visiting Israelis has evoked threats by members of the victim's tribe to abduct or kill Israeli tourists. Jordanian police have determined that Sgt. Ibrahim Jarah drowned in a pool at the Maeen Hot Springs in Madaba, which he visited with Israeli tourists earlier this month. His family insists that he was killed by the Israelis. His brother, Mohammed Jarah, warned that his tribe will kill ten Israelis in retaliation for his brother's death. Anti-Israel sentiment runs high in Jordan, despite the 1994 peace treaty.
