Amman - Jordan's state security court on Sunday handed al-Qaeda's leader in Iraq Abu Musab al-Zarqawi his second death penalty in absentia, for planning to blow up a border crossing between Jordan and Iraq.

The prosecutor had demanded the death penalty against Jordanian-born Zarqawi and two other suspects accused of plotting a suicide attack on the Karameh crossing with Iraq.

Zarqawi, the most wanted man in Iraq where he has a US bounty of $25m on his head, has also been sentenced to death by the state security court for the October 2002 murder of a US diplomat in Amman.
