Jordanian security forces detained several people Saturday and uncovered the launcher used to fire three Katyusha rockets from a hilltop warehouse in Aqaba on Friday. "We have found the rocket launcher in the warehouse from where they fired," Interior Minister Awni Yirfas told The Associated Press. "The investigation is still underway and issues related to it will remain secret so it would not harm the process. I cannot give you the names or say if we are looking for the perpetrators in the desert or any other place."
Earlier, a government source stated that the government attaches great attention to investigations being carried out on the criminal attacks, which targeted Aqaba on Friday, killing soldier Ahmad Najdawi and wounding another. ''The Cabinet held a session, under the leadership of Prime Minister Adnan Badran, in which it expressed confidence that security apparatuses would be able to catch the criminals,'' the source added, according to Petra.
It also pointed that such terrorist acts would not prevent Jordan to continue its efforts in fighting all forms and kinds of terrorism.
