King Abdullah of Jordan is likely to grant a special amnesty as early as today to a Japanese photographer imprisoned for manslaughter, NHK television reported, without saying where it obtained the information.
Hiroki Gomi, a 36-year old employee of the Mainichi newspaper, was arrested last month after a cluster bomb he brought from Iraq killed a security guard and injured three others at the Queen Alia International Airport. Gomi, who had covered the war in Iraq, said he picked up the bomb as a souvenir to take home and that the explosion was an accident. The Mainichi asked the Jordanian government to grant an amnesty, which would nullify the court ruling, media reports said.
