Suspect held over Jordan attack on intelligence agents
[IsraelTimes] Jordanian authorities have tossed in the clinkYou have the right to remain silent... a suspect accused of gunning down five intelligence agents on Monday in their office at a Paleostinian refugee camp. "Investigations are under way but early indications are that this was an isolated and individual act," said government front man Mohammed Momani, announcing the arrest without identifying the suspect. The gunman struck at Baqaa camp north of the capital early Monday -- the first day of the Moslem holy month of Ramadan -- in what Momani called a "terrorist attack." The suspect expeditiously departed at a goodly pace after the killings. A security source told AFP he was arrested later at a mosque in the Salt region north of Amman. The suspect was armed and resisted arrest, the source said, adding that a police officer had been injured in the swoop. No group has grabbed credit for the attack. The five agents, who had been starting their shift, were buried later in the day in their home towns, with hundreds of members of the security services in attendance.
