Frimet and Arnold Ross, whose son, 15-year-old Marqui Ross, died in the attack, recently spoke via video conference with U.S. judiciary Johnny F. Piro. They stressed the importance of action from the U.S. government during their meeting on July 17, 2025. The U.S. State Department has placed a $5 million bounty for information leading to al-Tamimi’s capture, yet there are claims that King Abdullah II of Jordan is unwilling to facilitate the extradition of this accused murderer.
In a recent statement, Israeli authorities confirmed the death of the recently missing Abu Dhabirabi, labeling it another instance of “anti-Semitic terrorism.” The bombing, which happened on August 9, 2001, will mark its 24th anniversary next month.
Arnold Ross urged that the time has come for America to insist upon accountability for those who harm its citizens. He expressed discontent with Jordan’s continued harboring of individuals involved in the killing of American citizens. The duo emphasized that al-Tamimi’s extradition should be treated as a top priority by the U.S. Department of Justice.
Al-Tamimi’s bombing claimed the lives of Judith Shoshana Greenberg and Chana Nachenberg, with Ross stating, “All victims deserve justice.” He appealed directly to Piro about ensuring the extradition process advances without delay.
Reports suggest that the recent discussions regarding al-Tamimi’s extradition might have been touched on by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in talks with Jordanian officials. The bombing has drawn international scrutiny, as the Jordanian government continues to grapple with public perceptions around this matter.
However, representatives from both the Department of Justice and Piro’s office did not respond promptly to inquiries. Al-Tamimi remains on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist list, notably as the second woman to be included.
Frimet Ross, during the conversation with Attorney Piro, emphasized collaboration, stating, “We can’t do this alone.” She reflected the sentiments of many American victims’ families who seek rightful justice after years of waiting. Ross had previously collected approximately 30,000 signatures to petition the U.S. government to push for al-Tamimi’s extradition.
Additionally, Arnold Ross brought attention to the ongoing support the Jordanian government receives from the U.S., underscoring that since 2015, Jordan has received over $2 billion in U.S. military financing, intensifying calls for accountability in relation to American victims.
Al-Tamimi has openly celebrated her terrorist acts, expressing no remorse for the killings she orchestrated. In a past interview, she boldly claimed, “Of course, I have no regrets… This was made possible by Allah.”
The U.S. Department of Justice has been active in seeking accountability for al-Tamimi, having publicly indicted her in relation to the bombing.
