AMMAN: Jordanian authorities have foiled a “terrorist” attack and arrested an Iraqi man in possession of explosives said to have come from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, a judicial source said Monday.

“Security services thwarted a terrorist plan at the last minute which was going to be carried out by an Iraqi on behalf of Iran’s Quds Force,” the source told AFP, without providing further details.

The suspect, whose name was not given, was arrested in possession of 45 kilos of explosives in the northern town of Jarash. The source did not say when he was detained.

He was due to appear before the state security court, accused of “possessing explosive material and planning terrorist acts,” the judicial source said.

Iran’s Quds Force, the foreign operations arm of its Revolutionary Guards, is charged with carrying out missions abroad.

Tehran has accused Jordan of aiding rebel groups fighting its forces in Syria. 

Jordan is hosting a U.S.-run program to train Syrian rebels to fight against ISIS and has said it is training some tribal groups in Syria.

The last major attack on Jordanian soil was in 2005 when suicide bombers blasted three hotels in Amman, killing and wounding dozens of people.
