CAIRO - The regime of Saddam Hussain rejected repeated requests from Jordan to hand over Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who now heads Al Qaeda in Iraq, the Jordanian king said in an interview published on Thursday.
King Abdullah II told the pan-Arab daily Al-Hayat that Jordan exerted ??big efforts? with Saddam??s government to extradite al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian sentenced to death at home for terrorist activities.
??But our demands that the former regime hand him over were in vain,? Abdullah said.
??We had information that he entered Iraq from a neighboring country, where he lived and what he was doing. We informed the Iraqi authorities about all this detailed information we had, but they didn??t respond,? the king said.
