Jordan’s General Intelligence Department (GID) announced Tuesday the arrest of 16 individuals linked to plots targeting national stability. Authorities confirmed the group aimed to incite chaos, sabotage infrastructure, and disrupt public order through coordinated attacks.
Weapons Cache and Training Networks Uncovered
GID officials revealed suspects manufactured missiles using locally sourced and illegally imported materials. Security forces seized explosives, firearms, and a concealed missile ready for deployment. Additionally, the group developed drones and recruited operatives for domestic and overseas training.
Authorities arrested the suspects after monitoring their activities since 2021. Intensive intelligence efforts exposed plans to destabilize Jordan through armed attacks and covert networks.
All detainees face trial at Jordan’s State Security Court. The GID emphasized its commitment to rigorous legal measures against threats to national security.
Jordan’s Commitment to Stability
This development follows a May 2023 incident where Jordan intercepted foreign-backed arms smuggling. Despite regional tensions, Jordan maintains relative stability through proactive security strategies and constant vigilance.
Security agencies continue to prioritize counterterrorism operations and cross-border threat detection. However, this latest operation highlights the ongoing challenges Jordan faces regarding national security, reinforcing the need for continued vigilance. Officials urge public cooperation to safeguard Jordan’s security and prosperity.
