His Majesty King Abdullah on Wednesday condemned the terror attacks that targeted three hotels in Amman evening killing tens of people and injuring scores of others.

The King described the terrorist blasts as “criminal acts conducted by stray, misleading groups.”

King Abdullah vowed that such terror acts would not deter Jordan from assuming its important role in striving to combat terrorism, terror groups and those who advocate violence.

His Majesty stressed that the criminals who perpetrated these acts against innocent civilians would be brought to justice.

The King emphasized that Jordan would remain a safe and stable country and that such acts contradict the values of the Jordanian people.

Shortly after the attacks, HRH Prince Hashem, the Regent, visited the sites of the explosions and toured the hospitals where the wounded were being treated.

The Regent said that these criminal attacks would not shake Jordan's resolute and firm stand against terror.

He was accompanied on his tour by Prime Minister Adnan Badran and Minister of Interior Awni Yarvas.
