NCRI - 5/22/2006

Jordan's state run Television showed footage of three men from a group of twenty terrorists arrested in Amman carrying Iranian made weapons.

The AlJazeera Television cited Jordanian officials as saying that these twenty men were involved in plot to destabilize the country.

In an interview with Fahad Gheitan, one of the editors of Arab-Al Yowm Jordanian daily, he said the volume of information published regarding this plot is enormous. The revelations have shocked Jordanians.

"The operation, if it had succeeded, would have been a destructive one," he noted adding: "The weapons cache was huge and there are still more to descover. A massive operation is on the way."

He said that senior Jordanian officials regard this as an Iranian plot that involves elements from the Palestinian Hamas organization.
