I've Been Thinking:
Newspapers in Jordan today are reporting that a major terror attack was averted. The authorities arrested a man with Iraqi Norwegian citizenship who was in possession of 45 kg, equivalent to 100 pounds, of explosives.
The media says that this attack would have been the worst terror attack in a decade.
The first judicial hearing for the suspect will take place in Jordanian security court on Monday.
The terrorist is believed to belong to a group called Bayt ul Maqdis. This is a common name for many terror groups - but all of the groups with this name are not connected to each other.
Bayt al Maqdis is another Arabic name for Jerusalem.
The discovery of this group is very important - and not just because this discovery saved lives. Finding this man and his group will lead authorities on a path to discovery of other terror cells and of arms and of explosive suppliers.
This is a big step in the fight against ISSI and other groups taking hold in Jordan and in the region.
