In the wake of a major counterterrorism breakthrough in Jordan, the country’s Interior Minister, Mazen Al-Faraya, announced a sweeping move against the Muslim Brotherhood, declaring the group’s operations illegal within the kingdom.
“It has been proven that members of the Muslim Brotherhood are engaged in activities that undermine stability and undermine security. This is something that no country can accept,” he said.
Minister Al-Faraya stated that Jordan would immediately begin applying legal measures against the Muslim Brotherhood, citing its classification as an unlawful group. “We are announcing the immediate enforcement of the provisions of the law against the Muslim Brotherhood, which is considered an illegal association. We have decided to confiscate the assets of the Muslim Brotherhood and ban all their activities.”
This announcement came on the heels of a major security bust, during which Jordanian intelligence apprehended 16 people believed to be orchestrating a large-scale attack. Officials revealed that the raid turned up rockets, a stash of explosives, and a drone production site.
Authorities allege the suspects were working to manufacture and smuggle weaponry into Jordan, including rockets intended for “illegal purposes.” A cache of arms and bomb-making materials was recovered. Among those detained was Khaled al-Juhani, identified as the head of the Muslim Brotherhood’s parliamentary office in Jordan, who was taken from his residence earlier in the day, local media reported.
The investigation suggests that the group had already prepared a launch-ready rocket, initiated a drone development program, and was attempting to expand its terrorist infrastructure by recruiting and training operatives inside the country—and even dispatching some abroad for further instruction.
