Jordan - torture enthusiasts - show TV 'confession'

It must have made great TV. Few reports [none we have seen] question whether the 'guilty terrorist' is likely to have been tortured: JORDAN: Torture of prisoners rife, say rights groups

No mention of torture here from reuters: An Iraqi member of al Qaeda confessed on Jordanian television on Tuesday to killing a Jordanian driver by shooting him in the head and to kidnapping two Moroccan embassy employees last year.

Ziyad Khalaf Karbouli, described as a local head of al Qaeda network in the Iraqi town of Rutba near the border with Jordan, said he was responsible for last October's kidnapping of two Moroccans, who worked at their country's Baghdad embassy.

The two went missing in October while returning by road from a trip to Jordan. Al Qaeda said in November it had sentenced the two men to death, but Moroccan authorities say they believe the pair are still alive and they are working for their release.

Karbouli, who worked as customs clearance official near the Iraqi border with Jordan, went into detail about how he kidnapped Khaled Dasouki, a Jordanian driver who worked on the Baghdad-Amman highway six months ago.

"I told him 'I have to kill you' and he started pleading and said 'don't kill me'. Then I told him 'I have to kill you' and so I pulled my personal gun and shot him twice in the head," a composed Karbouli said. Link
