The Chinese working team, dispatched to handle the aftermath of
the Wednesday's bomb attacks in Jordanian capital Amman, came back
to Beijing Saturday morning, with the remains of the three Chinese
victims aboard the same plane.
Three Chinese were killed and one wounded Wednesday evening in
the bomb attacks against three hotels in Amman. The victims were
members of a delegation from China's University of National Defense
(CUND), which happened to stay in one of the hotels.
The victims killed were identified as Sun Jingbo, Pan Wei and
Zhang Kangping at the age of 41, 44 and 42, respectively.
Their remains were escorted to the Babaoshan Funeral Parlor
Saturday.
The wounded, 42-year-old Yao Liqiang, suffered from a leg
fracture. He was immediately sent to hospital after arriving in
Beijing.
Led by CUND's Vice President Zhao Gang, the working team
consisted of officials from the Chinese defense and foreign
ministries, as well as family members of the victims.
Liang
Guanglie, chief of general staff of the Chinese People's
Liberation Army and a member of China's Central Military
Commission, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Dai Bingguo, and Anmar
Abdulhalim Namir Harmud, Jordanian ambassador to China, were among
the people to meet the working team and express sympathy and
solicitude for the family members of the victims and the wounded
upon their arrival in the airport.
During the working team's five-hour stay in Jordan, Jordanian
King Abdullah II met with the working team and the CUND delegation,
expressing condolence to Chinese victims in the bomb attacks.
The Jordanian side facilitated the Chinese working team's work
when the team dealt with the aftermath of the bombing attacks in
Amman.
Top Chinese leaders, including President Hu Jintao and
Premier Wen
Jiabao, conveyed their deep condolences over the death of the
victims to their relatives on separate occasions Thursday.
