| AMMAN, Jordan, May 17 (UPI) -- Jordanian authorities have indicted a group of Muslim extremists accused of planning attacks in Jordan and Israel, an official said Tuesday. Military Prosecutor Fawwaz Atoum announced the indictment of eight men accused of trying to find recruits for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad to carry out attacks against Israel. Seven of the eight suspects are currently jailed in Jordan, while one suspect is believed to be hiding in Syria, he said. All eight are charged with conspiring and planning terrorist attacks that would have exposed Jordan to danger and undermined its relations with a foreign country. |
