 Jordanian authorities have arrested three top Muslim Brotherhood officials, the secretary general of the Islamist group's political wing, the Islamic Action Front said on Thursday. Authorities have refused to comment on Zaki Ben Rsheid's announcement. If confirmed the arrests of the three - Mohammad Zghoul, Mohammed Qudat and Mohammad Freihat - will bring to 21 the number of Islamists taken into custody in Jordan since April. Most of the arrests stem from an investigation into the presence in Jordan of terrorist cells linked to the radical Palestinian group Hamas. |
