No bail for crazed killers, Jordanian court rules
The State Security Court responded negatively to a request for the release on bail of alleged Islamists. Khreis added that the tribunal rejected his request for the release of his three clients: Bilal and Abdur Razzaq Khreisat and Jamal Mughrabi. The three defendants are part of a 13-member ring called Al Khalaya (the Cells), dismantled early last year. They were referred to court last June. The 13 suspects, including an Egyptian, are charged with belonging to an illegal organisation, manufacturing explosives for illegal purposes and conspiring to carry out terrorist attacks in Jordan. If found guilty, the defendants could face the death penalty.
