"Alla knows, if we could get chemical weapons, we would use them against Israeli cities like Eilat and Tel Aviv", said a high ranking al Qaeda member in a video cassette broadcast on an Arab television station and uploaded on Moslem websites on the Internet.
He made these statements in response to reports that Jordanian security forces had averted a chemical attack that al Qaeda planned to carry out in that country. He admitted that the organization planned to carry out an attack, but that it was not chemical.
"Yes, we planned to destroy the building which houses Jordanian intelligence", he said. "But the statement that the attack was meant to be chemical is a pure lie… a creation of the evil Jordanian establishment".
Al Qaeda took responsibility for a number of other major attacks on Iraq
