Jordan's State Security Court has banned media Monday from publishing information about an alleged Iranian-backed terror plot, Indo Asian News Service reported.
Media reports about the ban came shortly after the trial of suspect Khaled al-Rubai, who works for Iranian intelligence and allegedly attempted to carry out extremist attacks in Jordan. All outlets have been banned from reporting on the trial.
Al-Rubai reportedly had been detained by Jordanian security forces earlier on Monday. The 49-year-old had been involved in previous attacks and is a member of the Iranian-backed Bayt al-Maqdis group.
Al-Rubai was arrested north of Amman in Jerash, where he was allegedly storing explosives, IANS reported.
