Jordan says arrests Hamas activists from Syria

Amman, Apr 25: Jordan said today it had arrested a group of Hamas activists acting on orders from the Palestinian militant group's Syrian-based leadership who were close to staging attacks inside the kingdom.

''Security interrogations with the detained suspects had proven they received instructions to execute operations from leaders of Hamas and specifically one of the military officials of Hamas currently based in Syria,'' government spokesperson Nasser Joudeh told Reuters.
