Jordanians hold candles during a night vigil at the entrance of the Radisson SAS hotel for victims of Wednesday's suicide attacks that killed at least 57 people and injured hundreds in Amman, Jordan.


AMMAN, Jordan — Islamic militants in Iraq asserted Friday that the deadly coordinated suicide bombings at hotels here this week were carried out by four Iraqis — including a husband-and-wife team — raising new concerns that violence in Iraq is spreading beyond that nation's borders.

An Internet posting in the name of al-Qaida in Iraq made the latest claim of responsibility for the bombings that killed 57 people Wednesday at three Western chain hotels.

It was believed to be the first time a married couple has carried out a suicide attack. The couple bombed the Days Inn after the woman "chose to accompany her husband to his martyrdom," the statement said.

Jordanian officials have found the remains of three males believed to be the attackers but could not confirm a woman was involved. Police were scouring footage from hotel security cameras, and forensic experts were analyzing the severed head of a woman discovered at one hotel.

1. well if we hadn't invaded Iraq

I doubt the terrorists that bombed the hotel would have been from Iraq

Our actions have now caused an influx of terrorist in Iraq

What is amazing is that these terrorists from Iraq are killing Muslims inside and outside of Iraq. This is why fundamentalism in any form is bad
