Jordan Orders Return of Ambassador to Iraq

21 March 2005

Jordanian officials say King Abdullah has ordered his ambassador to return to Iraq one day after the envoy was recalled.

On Sunday, in a diplomatic tit-for-tat Iraq and Jordan both recalled their top diplomats. Jordan called its ambassador to Iraq home for consultations after Iraqis, protesting a deadly bombing south of Baghdad, raised the Iraqi flag over the Jordanian embassy. The protesters gathered at the embassy after news reports said the suicide bomber was a Jordanian national.

Hours after the Jordanian recall Iraqi brought home its ambassador to Jordan for consultations.

Meanwhile, a car bomb attack in Samarra wounded 10 people Monday and a U.S. soldier was killed in an insurgent attack in Kirkuk.

On Sunday, coalition soldiers killed 24 insurgents who attacked a coalition convoy outside Baghdad.

Some information for this report provided by AFP and Reuters.
