Five Arrested in Jordan after Foiled Suicide Attacks Against Israel
(AFP-Al-Arabiya) Five Jordanians are on trial in Jordan for plotting suicide attacks against Israeli targets in the West Bank, a judicial source told AFP on Tuesday. The plot was foiled in February. According to the charge sheet, one suspect visited Gaza in 2007, where he was trained to make explosive vests and bombs. He returned to Jordan in 2010 and in 2017 he recruited four others with whom he plotted to infiltrate the West Bank and carry out attacks "with bombs against buses and trains and with explosive vests against other Israeli targets."
