| Jordan arrests brother of bomber in Afghan attack |
| 2011-04-19 |
| Jordan has arrested the brother of an Al Qaeda triple agent who blew himself up in a CIA outpost in Afghanistan in 2009, killing seven CIA employees in what was one of the worst tragedies in the history of the American agency. A Jordanian security official says the arrested man, Ayman al-Balawi, was detained in a sweep Friday along with 102 other members of the ultraconservative Muslim Salafi sect. The sweep followed clashes with anti-government protesters in the eastern Jordanian city of Zarqa during which Salafis wounded 83 policemen. The official said on Tuesday that Ayman al-Balawi is the brother of Humam, the Jordanian physician-turned-bomber who carried out the attack in Afghanistan. |
