Malki Roth
The father of Malki Roth, a victim of the 2001 Sbarro pizzeria suicide bombing in Jerusalem, says the logic of protecting Jordan’s monarchical head of state kept “everybody off the king’s tail.”
Although an extradition treaty exists between the United States and Jordan, the Roths have struggled to obtain justice for their daughter’s murder.
The Roths have been urging the United States to press Jordan to extradite the Hamas terrorist who helped plan and engineer the attack.
A bill proposed by Rep. Greg Steube would halt or limit assistance to Jordan for violating a 1995 extradition treaty over its harboring of a Hamas terrorist.
The release of the Roth video came out four years after the United States announced terrorism charges against Ahlam Ahmad Tamimi for masterminding the attack on a Sbarro pizzeria.
“They told the oh-so-sad tale of how her husband Nizar Tamimi, who is also a released terrorist, had been forced by Jordanian authorities to leave Jordan for Qatar on Oct 1,” said Arnold Roth.
