Jordan's withdrawal of its envoy to Baghdad and Iraq's recall of its ambassador to Amman yesterday followed a Jordanian news report saying that a Jordanian had carried out the suicide bombing in Al-Hillah that killed 125 Iraqis last month.
Iraqis last week broke into the Jordanian embassy and raised the Iraqi flag in a protest against Jordan.
There has been no confirmation that a Jordanian carried out the Al-Hillah attack.
The United States military said 24 insurgents were killed in a clash on the outskirts of Baghdad yesterday. The United States said the fighting left seven insurgents and six American soldiers injured.
In other violence, an Al-Qaeda linked suicide bomber assassinated the head of the Iraqi police anticorruption unit in Mosul, and a U.S. soldier was killed when a bomb exploded near Kirkuk.
