NCRI – An Iraqi man with links to the Iranian regime’s Quds Force who was recently detained in Jordan as part of a major anti-terrorism operation had previously spied on Iranian refugees in Norway, the Norwegian security services have announced.<\/p>\n
Jordan\u2019s security forces thwarted a major terrorist plot by the Iranian regime\u2019s Quds Force, a judicial source in Amman said on Monday. Large quantities of explosives were seized in the operation which took place in April.<\/p>\n
Local reports identified the suspect as Khalid Kazem al-Rubaie, 49, who holds dual Iraqi-Norwegian citizenship.<\/p>\n
The accused was planning to carry out a \u2018terrorist operation\u2019 on Jordanian soil, according to the Jordanian daily Al-Rai. Following his arrest large quantities of explosives were found in his possession in northern Jordan.<\/p>\n
The Norwegian security force PST (Politiets sikkerhetstjeneste) said on Tuesday that it had al-Rubaie under surveillance for spying on Iranian refugees living in Norway.<\/p>\n
The Norwegian daily Dagbladet wrote that al-Rubaie previously lived in Iran and his family have been living there for the past 30 years.<\/p>\n
The Jordanian State Security Court on Monday began a military tribunal, headed by military judge Colonel Mohammad al-Afif, in the case of al-Rubaie who stands accused of being in possession of highly explosive materials and preparing for a terrorist operation in Jordan.<\/p>\n
The Al-Rai daily quoted an informed source as saying that 45 kilograms of highly explosive substances was found in al-Rubaie\u2019s possession at a house in the Saqreh Osfur district of Jerash, northern Jordan.<\/p>\n
The source said that this was the biggest confiscation of explosive materials in the country in the past 10 years.<\/p>\n
The Quds Force is the extra-territorial branch of the Iranian regime\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
