Mideast Jordan
Mohammad al-Shalabi, better known as Abu Sayyaf, a Jordanian militant leader linked to al-Qaida, speaks to a crowd of about 200 calling for the release of prisoners outside the Prime Minister office in Amman, Jordan, Sept. 9 2012. Abu Sayyaf warned Sunday that his extremist group will launch “deadly attacks” in neighboring Syria to topple President Bashar Assad. Many of the foreign jihadists going to Syria are believed to come from Iraq, but in June Jordanian police said they arrested two members of Abu Sayyaf’s group near the northern border as they tried to cross into Syria.
