Jordan Jails Three Hamas Arrested For Terrorist Plots


Good for Jordan. They nabbed these three Hamas thugs a couple of years ago and now, hopefully, they will put them away for a long, long time.

Here's part of the story from al arabiya:


A Jordanian military court on Thursday jailed three nationals suspected of belonging to the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas for plotting attacks in the kingdom two years ago.The three men, of Palestinian origin, can appeal within 30 days.They were arrested in April and May 2006 as part of a sweep that netted 20 people, and the group confessed on state television that they had plotted to kill senior officials in Jordan's intelligence services.

One of the clowns got 15 years in a Jordanian prison while the other two got five years. And it states also in the article that the one Hamas prisoner has detailed out how the plan was working and although Jordan is not implicating Syria and Iran, the fingerprints are there.

Jordan better get used to acting tough on these terrorists as there will be many more to take the place of these chumps. Jordan's willingness to work with Israel from time to time as well as their ties to the U.S. make them a prime target - luckily for the Jordanians, they have a damn good security network set up (and it was top security officals that were targeted by these Hamas for killing) and they keep the misift palestinians out of the neighborhood.
