Jordan's King Abdullah II vowed on Tuesday (June 7th) to act decisively against anyone who threatens the kingdom's security, a day after a lone gunman shot dead five intelligence officers at the refugee camp of Baqaa, north of Amman.
"Jordan will act with all firmness and force against anyone seeking to undermine its security," he said on a visit to the headquarters of the intelligence services.
"National unity is the weapon we will use to thwart all plans that aim to disrupt stability and cohesion," the king said, adding that the country would not be weakened by "the terrorist acts of traitors".
A suspect -- a Jordanian in his 20s -- was arrested on Monday, government spokesman Mohammed Momani said, without identifying him.
"Investigations are under way but early indications are that this was an isolated and individual act," he said.
