Jordan’s al-Ray daily published a report on July 5th citing a security source: Jordanian security forces arrested a member of the so-called Beit al-Moqadas group affiliated to the Iranian regime. This individual intended to carry out terrorist attacks in Jordan.
Al-Ray added this detained individual has dual Iraqi-Norwegian citizenships and his dossier has been referred to the Jordan security court. His prosecution began on Monday on charges of possessing explosives and planning terrorist attacks inside Jordan.
The suspect had hidden 45 kilograms of explosives in an area in Jersh Province, Jordanian officials said.
