An international arrest warrant issued for Jordanian terrorist Ahlam Tamimi has reportedly been dropped, according to Arab media sources.

The International Criminal Police Organization, commonly known as Interpol, appears to have abandoned its pursuit of Tamimi, who orchestrated the 2001 Sbarro pizzeria bombing in Jerusalem that killed 15 people.

In a March 8 letter published in Arabic-language media, the international law enforcement body said Tamimi was no longer the "subject to Interpol notice" but did not provide further details.

She also appears to have been removed from the agency's most-wanted list.

Tamimi has lived in Jordan since being released from an Israeli prison as part of a prisoner exchange in October 2011.

Of the 15 people killed in the 2001 Jerusalem attack, seven were children and one was an expecting mother. Another 130 people were injured in the blast.

Tamimi's husband, a convicted Palestinian murderer, later confirmed the cancellation of the Interpol notice on social media.

"After a legal battle that lasted for a year and a half, the defense for freed prisoner Ahlam Al-Tamimi achieved the erasure of the red notice issued against her by the Interpol ," Nizar Tamimi wrote on his Facebook page.

"With this legal victory, her name was removed from the wanted list of Interpol , praise be to God."

"Our struggle will continue until her file is completely closed, and we will meet after our prolonged separation and enjoy the free, stable life for which we have yearned," added Nizar Tamimi, who was deported from Jordan last year and now resides in Qatar.
