Jordan executes killers of U.S. envoy Two with ties to al Qaeda hanged for 2002 assassination

(CNN) -- The Jordanian government Saturday executed two al Qaeda-linked terrorists convicted in the 2002 assassination of a U.S. diplomat, according to Jordan's Petra news agency.

Salem Sa'ed Salem bin Suweid, a Libyan national, and Yasser Fathi Ibraheem, a Jordanian, were hanged at the Siwaqa Correctional and Rehabilitation Center for the killing of U.S. diplomat Laurence Foley.

I guess in Jordan you don't get 20 + years of appeals.

Thank you King Abdullah II ibn al-Hussein.

I do commend them for this action but somehow this is a little too late. Plus,they better be prepared for a Terrorist attack.

With the terrorists hung by Iraq a few days ago...that makes fifteen down. Can't we speed this up alittle? ;)

Will Al Zajeera have a video broadcast of these 2 swinging back and forth in the same manner that they like to show westerners being beheaded?

If NOT, then I'm certain our MSM will run it endlessly as they do with any violence committed by authorities or law enforcement....< /sarcasm>

Showing graphic footage of sheetheads hanging on the line, would have at least two positive impacts:

1. "Enrage" the "Arab Street" and initiate self destructive riots.
2. Demonstrate to Jihadists, that they are not loved by all Arabs or all Muslims...
