Bremer Says No Conclusion on Iraq Embassy Bombers

[Khephra]

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's U.S. governor said on Saturday there were no firm suspects in the bombing of the Jordanian embassy in Baghdad but that Islamists linked to al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein loyalists were under suspicion.

Paul Bremer, the top U.S. civilian official in the country, told a news conference Ansar al-Islam, an Islamist group once based in Iraq's Kurdish north was among "terrorist" groups the U.S. occupiers were tracking after Thursday's bombing.

But he would not identify a prime suspect and said supporters of Saddam's ousted Baathist government could also have carried out the truck bomb attack, which killed at least 17 people and wounded dozens.

"We know we have a terrorist threat in this country. Among the groups we are concerned about, Ansar al-Islam is high on the list," he said, when asked whether the group was suspected of the attack.

1. don't even bother, Bremer

any conclusion I heard from him or any administration official, I'd assume it was a politically motivated lie.
