New protests held over Zarqawi praise

[ECH1969]

Hundreds of angry demonstrators have taken to the streets again in Amman to denounce lawmakers who praised slain terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

"No Terrorism," "No to Supporters of Terrorism," some of the banners in Thursday's demonstration said.

Other demonstrators who marched to parliament carried Jordanian flags and pictures of King Abdullah, the Jordan Times newspaper reported Friday.

The four parliamentary deputies -- Ali Abdul Sukkar, Mohammad Abu Fares, Ibrahim Mashoukhi and Jaafar Hourani -- had traveled to Zarqawi's home district and expressed condolences to Zarqawi's family. They also hailed Zarqawi as a "martyr" and "holy warrior."
