Jordanian authorities have outlawed the Muslim Brotherhood, a Hamas ally and Jordan’s largest opposition group, and confiscated its assets after members of the group were found to be linked to a sabotage plot, Interior Minister Mazen Fraya says.
The decision will take immediate effect, officials say.
Last week, Jordanian security forces arrested 16 people linked to the Muslim Brotherhood who were trained and financed in Lebanon and had plotted attacks on targets inside the kingdom involving rockets and drones.
