| Jordanians have thwarted al-Qaeda attack |
| 2006-03-06 |
| Jordanian intelligence blocked a terrorist attack by Al-Qaeda, according to Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz, highlighting the increase threat of international terrorism specifically in the Middle East, including Israel. During a Knesset meeting on Sunday, Mofaz said there are still 13 active terror warnings in Israel and that the Karni border crossing in with southern Gaza has been closed as a direct result of a specific warning of attack on the site itself. Mofaz added that the Palestinian Authority has repeatedly refused an IDF offer to reroute the transfer of goods for humanitarian aid, causing undue hardship to residents of Gaza for political purposes. As a result of increased shootings and stabbings along the border and in Yesha, Mofaz has also increased the number of military and police personnel. |
