The Ansar al Mujahideen Network distributed a 16:13 minute video showing a large group of Salafist radicals, al Qaeda supporters and some ex-Guantanamo detainees, attending a wedding in the city of Erbed, north of the Jordanian capital Amman. Among the invitees was Sheikh Abu Mohammad al Maqdisi, the spiritual mentor of Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab al Zarqawi, who was killed in Iraq. The wedding was turned into a demonstration in support of Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda.
