JERUSALEM – There are Muslim “fighters” inside Jordan ready to launch attacks against that country as well as neighboring Israel, according to a senior terrorist interviewed by WND.
“We are ready to give orders to hundreds of Arab fighters in Jordan to start launching attacks at the Israeli border. For sure, Gaza will not be the only front,” said the terrorist, a top member of the Popular Resistance Committees, a Hamas-allied group responsible for a large number of recent attacks against Israel.
“Six hundred and fifty kilometers of Israeli-Jordanian borders are a good field to launch attacks,” he said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
It could not immediately be verified whether there is any evidence the Committees was developing a terrorist apparatus along the vast Jordanian-Israeli border. Attacks from inside Jordan aimed at the Israeli border are almost unheard of, although terrorists have been caught trying to infiltrate inside Israel from Jordan.
The jihadist speaking to WND slammed the moderate governments of Egypt and Jordan, both of which have a strong opposition presence of the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist organization seeking to spread the Muslim religion around the world. Hamas is an offshoot of the Brotherhood.
The Committees leader explained that for the time being his organization does not want to deteriorate the situation in Egypt for fear the Egyptian government will crack down on jihadist cells in the Sinai and weapons smuggling routes into bordering Gaza.
He warned, however, his “fighters” may try to “burn” Jordan.
“Egypt we don’t want to face at the moment so they don’t fight more seriously the (weapons smuggling) tunnels. Therefore Jordan is a weak point where our fighters can launch attacks against Israel, and we can also burn Jordan,” said the Committees leader.
