A cloud of uncertainty surrounds last night\'s murder of Yitzhak Snir, 51, of Ra\'anana, in the Jordanian capital, Amman. Two Islamic terror organizations claimed responsibility for his death. One of the groups, calling itself “The Islamic Jordanian Resistance Movement,” said the attack was in response to Israeli behavior against Palestinians. A branch of Islamic Jihad said it killed the Israeli because he was a Mossad agent, a charge the Israeli Foreign Ministry denies.



Jordanian officials believe Snir’s murder was a criminal matter linked to his work as a diamond merchant. Israeli and Jordanian officials are investigating; a Jordanian officer said that they are searching for two gunmen.
