On this date,
November 9, 2005, Suicide
bombers attacked three hotels in Amman, Jordan, killing at least 60 people. I
will post information about the female suicide bomber who survived the bombing
from Wikipedia before giving my thoughts.

Sajida Mubarak Atrous al-Rishawi (born 1970) is an alleged attempted suicide
bomber, who is believed to have taken part in the 2005 Amman bombings
in Jordan but survived when her explosive belt failed to detonate. She was the
wife of Ali Hussein Ali al-Shamari, who killed 38 people during a wedding party
in the bombings at the Amman Radisson hotel, and is reportedly the sister of a
former close aide of deceased al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Musab
al-Zarqawi.
She
was later captured by Jordanian authorities and confessed on national TV. She
was shown making a videotaped confession with an apparent suicide bomb device
around her and a detonator in hand showing that the device failed to explode,
but later retracted her confession.
She
was sentenced to death by hanging by a Jordanian military court on September
21, 2006. She appealed against this conviction but her appeal was dismissed in
January 2007. As of October 4, 2010, she was in the process of appeal of her
sentence.
MY THOUGHTS:
I feel that the death sentence was just in this case. Although she
survived when the bombs failed to activate, she should be charged for an
attempted murder. What if she had succeed? One might said, “She is dead
already!”
True but she would have caused more
lives too. She got what she deserve, please put her at the end of the rope.
