“If the U.S. isn’t demanding this, and the Israelis aren’t, what is to say the Jordanians should do anything?” said Jonathan Schanzer of FDD, referring to the mastermind of the 2001 Sbarro pizzeria suicide-bombing.

"My mother didn't die, but I lost her forever," Chana Nachenberg's only child, Sarah, said at age 14 at a 2013 OneFamily Foundation event.

Jordan is 80% Palestinian, and Israel has been protecting its kings from assassination attempts before and after the peace treaty.

Nizar and his wife, Ahlam Tamimi, were released from prison in 2011 in an exchange with Hamas for captured Israel soldier Gilad Shalit.

Efforts are also underway to push for the extradition of Ahlam Tamimi, the mastermind behind 2001 Sbarro pizzeria bombing in Jerusalem that killed 15 people, including two Americans.

The letter noted that “up until the Tamimi case and its Israeli victims, Jordan had extradited terrorists to the United States multiple times.”

Despite appearing on the “FBI Most Wanted Terrorist” list, with a $5 million bounty on her head, Ahlam Tamimi continues to live fearlessly in Jordan, proud of her “accomplishment.”

Tamimi, whose age has been the focus of a great deal of media attention, was charged with 12 counts for six separate incidents.

The families are also asking Jordan to allow the FBI to reinterview M’aarek Abu Tayeh "to see if he is ready to acknowledge why he chose to kill our sons."

The FBI has more than 63 overseas offices, or legal attachés, and each relies heavily on local law enforcement agencies for support.

'The US has made repeated efforts to lawfully return the defendant to the United States to face prosecution.'

The U.S. gave Jordan $393 million in aid last year. Is that just a blank check? Or is it time, perhaps, to make some of that aid conditional on Jordan surrendering killers of Americans?

Ahlam Tamimi assisted in the 2001 Sbarro restaurant bombing which killed 15 people and wounded 130 more.

Tamimi's victims included 13 Israelis, one pregnant American, and one Brazilian, all of them civilians. 130 were injured.

To commemorate Remembrance Day, Netanyahu has, so generously, dealt us yet another blow.

Eight years after our attack, after having sent DoJ reams of material, our file was somehow empty.

While the U.S. touts the capture of Bin Laden-s son in law, it is doing nothing to capture the killer of U.S. civilians living in Amman, Jordan.

Why, we demand to know, did this government secretly delete the condition of the murderer Nazir al-Tamimi's release?

It is chilling to watch Ahlam Tamimi smile as she is told that she murdered not 3 children, but 8. But it is important to understand that this woman is not a psychopath. She is the true face of the Palestinian cause.

Information spreads like wildfire. “Gilad Shalit is home,” my friend e-mailed me happily as soon as he heard the news. He isn’t Jewish or a even a Zionist, but the kidnapping of someone our age moved him enough to track the case.
