- Share via
Military prosecutors charged 13 suspects with conspiring to attack American targets in Jordan, including the United States Embassy and Jordanian bases where the alleged plotters believed U.S. troops were stationed.
Jordanian officials said four of the suspects -- three Saudis and a Jordanian -- still at large would be tried in absentia starting next month.
The 13-page indictment says the conspirators received rockets, grenades and detonators from Iraq via a Jordanian truck driver.
One official said the suspects have no apparent connection to Al Qaeda.
