Jordanian King Abdullah II on Sunday morning visited families of
the Chinese victims killed in the Amman bomb attacks in early
November.
The King's motorcade arrived on Sunday morning at the Chinese
University of National Defense in the northwest suburb of Beijing,
which the three victims used to study.
King Abdullah II expressed his deepest condolences to the
victims and told their families that the Jordanian royal family,
government and people shared their sorrow.
He also expressed his concern for the children of the victims,
saying that he wants to keep contact with them and would offer help
whenever possible.
The three Chinese, Sun Jingbo, Zhang Kangping and Pan Wei, were
killed on the evening of November 9 local time in the bomb attacks
on three hotels in Amman. They were members of a delegation from
China's University of National Defense that was staying at one of
the hotels.
Another member Yao Liqiang was injured in the explosion,
suffering from a leg fracture. Yao is still recovering.
King Abdullah II told Yao that he looked much better than he did
one month ago, and wished him a speedy recovery.
Yao expressed his appreciation for the King's kindness and
thanked the Jordanian people for their care while he was in
Jordan.
King Abdullah II also visited the university's teaching
facilities.
The King arrived in Beijing on Saturday afternoon for a four-day
visit as President Hu
Jintao's guest.
