Tap title to read story
Jordan's Interior Ministry banned the Muslim Brotherhood, a prominent Islamist opposition group, citing a foiled sabotage plot involving a group member's son. The ban, effective immediately, includes the closure of offices, asset seizure, and the suppression of group publications. While legally operating in Jordan for decades, the Brotherhood's ideology and alleged destabilizing activities prompted the government's action. The group's political arm, the Islamic Action Front, recently gained significant seats in parliamentary elections.
