Jordan jails vet for Israel embassy bomb plot
Jordanian security forces stand guard outside the state security court in Amman
Amman - Arab Today
A court in Jordan on Monday sentenced a veterinary surgeon to three years' hard labour for plotting a suicide car bombing outside the Israeli embassy in Amman.
The verdict was handed down by the state security court, an AFP journalist at the hearing said.
The 54-year-old was arrested in September 2014 after his car exploded in the garage of his house in Irbid province north of the capital.
The charges said that the vet, who had been experimenting with explosives, was planning the attack as a response to Israel's deadly offensive in the Gaza Strip in July and August last year.
Jordan and Egypt are the only Arab states to have signed peace treaties with the Jewish state, in 1994 and 1979 respectively.

The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
