Sajida Mubarak Atrous al-Rishawi (born 1970) is a female suicide bomber, who took part in the 2005 Amman bombings in Jordan but survived when her explosive belt failed to detonate. She was the wife of Ali Hussein Ali al-Shamari, who killed 38 people during a wedding party at the Amman Raddison, and is reportedly the sister of a close aide of al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
She was later captured by Jordanian authorities and confessed on national TV. She was shown making a video taped confession with an apparent suicide bomb device around her with a detonator in hand showing that the device failed to explode, but later retracted her confession.[ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5366438.stm Failed Amman hotel bomber to hang] ] ]She was sentenced to death by hanging by a Jordanian military court on September 21 2006.
