A team from China arrived in Amman on Friday to handle the aftermath of the Jordan bombings which killed three Chinese members of a military delegation and injured a fourth.

Al-Qaida suicide bombers launched the attacks on Wednesday night, killing at least 59 people, including themselves.

The Chinese team is expected to bring the three bodies and the 31 surviving members of the delegation from China's University of National Defence back to Beijing on Saturday (November 12).

The team, headed by the university vice-president, is made up of officials from the ministries of national defence and foreign affairs, as well as five relatives of the victims.

The three who died were Sun Jingbo, 41, Zhang Kangping, 42, and Pan Wei, 44.

A memorial ceremony has been held for them, sources with the Chinese Embassy in Jordan told China Daily on Friday.

China's ambassador to Jordan, Luo Xingwu, and other embassy staff members went to a local hospital on Friday to see Yao Liqiang, 42, who was suffering from a leg fracture. The other members of the delegation were safe, sources with the embassy said.

It has been said the Jordanian Government may give some financial assistance to relatives of the Chinese victims.
