Jordanian King Abdullah II affirmed on Thursday that Jordanians are more resolved to fight all forms of terrorism, the state Petra news agency reported.

King Abdullah made the remarks marking the first anniversary of the terrorist bombings in the kingdom that killed 60 people.

"The cohesion of Jordanians and their united stance against terrorism prompted them to show courage and keenness in preserving security and stability in their country," Abdullah told Petra.

"It is necessary to clarify the true principles of Islam, that terrorists try to distort through using it as a pretext to commit their crime and spread destruction in all parts of the world," he said.

Abdullah stressed that the terrorist acts in Amman and the capitals of other countries such as Riyadh, London and Madrid are not in any way related to Islam.

"This sinister crime shows that fighting terrorism and terrorists is the responsibility of all, for terrorism is blind and does not distinguish between one person and another irrespective of his nationality, race or religion," he said.

Suicide bombers, with explosive belts on their bodies, entered three hotels in Amman and blew themselves up almost simultaneously on Nov. 9 last year, killing 60 people. The attacks were later claimed by al-Qaida in Iraq.
