AMMAN, April 15 (Xinhua) -- Jordan's General Intelligence Directorate announced on Tuesday it thwarted plots aimed at undermining national security and causing chaos and material destruction within the Kingdom.

The Directorate arrested 16 individuals involved in the plots, which had been closely monitored through intelligence efforts since 2021, the state-run Petra news agency reported.

The plots included attempts to manufacture rockets using locally sourced and illegally imported components, possession of explosives and firearms, concealment of a ready-to-use missile, and a project to manufacture drones. The schemes also involved the recruitment and training of individuals within the Kingdom and sending them abroad for further training.

The Directorate announced that all cases have been referred to the State Security Court for legal action. Enditem
