Amman, July 6 (IANS/EFE) Jordan's State Security Court decided on Monday to forbid the publishing of information regarding an alleged Iranian plot to carry out terrorist attacks in Jordanian territory.

All media outlets have been banned from reporting on the trial.

The 49-year-old suspect has previously colluded in terrorist attacks, and is a member of the Beit al-Maqdis Islamist group.
