The Iraqi government accused Jordan on Sunday of enabling members of Saddam Hussein's family living there to finance a network seeking to destabilize Iraq.
According to The AP, government spokesman Laith Kubba said the former Iraqi leader's relatives in Jordan have "huge amounts of money" to support attempts to revive his Baath Party organizations. It should be mentioned that Saddam's two oldest daughters live in Amman.
"It is regrettable to say that there still are large numbers of elements, not only former regime elements, but supervisors of some terrorist groups, who are in Jordan," Kubba was qouted as saying.
On the ground, two officials of the Interior Ministry's security department were shot dead as they drove through western Baghdad, police Lt. Majid Zaki said.
In Samarra, 60 miles north of Baghdad, a policeman and a civilian were killed in a drive-by shooting, and five members of a single family were found dead overnight, a police spokesman added.
