AMMAN, Jordan (AP) -- Jordan has documents that prove that Peru is to blame
                  for the arms it claims were smuggled from Jordan to Marxist rebels in Colombia,
                  Prime Minister Ali Abu-Ragheb said Thursday.

                  Abu-Ragheb said that according to the documents a "deal was done in the most
                  transparent and correct manner between representatives of the armed forces" in
                  Peru and Colombia.

                  "It is evident that the problem is in Peru, but we don't know what it is," said
                  Abu-Ragheb. "Whether the Peruvian generals who received the arms from
                  Jordan were acting or retired, we don't know."

                  Abu-Ragheb said the Jordanian government has presented Jaime Giron, a
                  Cairo-based Peruvian diplomat who is in Jordan to look into the matter, with the
                  documents on the deal.

                  Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori's security chief, Vladimiro Montesinos,
                  accused Jordan last week of involvement with international dealers smuggling
                  arms to Colombian guerrillas.

                  Jordan has insisted that the arms, which were mainly Russian-made Kalashnikov
                  assault rifles, were sold to Lima in 1998 under a state-to-state deal worth
                  $500,000.

                  Abu-Ragheb has previously said the arms, which had been used in training
                  volunteers to Jordan's popular army, were handed over to Peruvian generals at
                  Amman's Queen Alia International Airport two years ago.

                  Other government officials have accused unnamed Peruvian military officials of
                  smuggling the arms to Colombian guerrillas after taking them from Jordan.

                  Montesinos has said the arms hop-scotched from the Canary Islands to Guyana
                  and finally to Peru's northern Amazon city of Iquitos. Some 10,000 weapons
                  were dropped by parachute to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia,
                  according to Montesinos.

                  Last week, Jordanian and Peruvian representatives at the United Nations in New
                  York met in the first official contact since Lima made its allegation on August 21.
