Jordan’s authorities successfully thwarted an attempt by militants, supported by foreign entities, to smuggle weapons into the country, according to a security official’s statement to the state news agency PETRA on Wednesday.
The operation, which took place in March, led to the confiscation of the arms and the arrest of the Jordanian smugglers involved.
The official statement from PETRA noted that investigations and security operations are actively continuing.
This incident is part of a series of recent efforts by Jordanian security forces to prevent the smuggling of arms, which have included mines, explosives, Kalashnikov rifles, and Katyusha rockets.
