Today, Sunday, a Jordanian security source announced that the security services have arrested about 100 wanted persons and suspects in cases of intimidation of citizens and the imposition of royalties during a security campaign, yesterday, Saturday, in the wake of the Zarqa crime that shook Jordanian society.
A media spokesperson for the Public Security Directorate said in a statement that "the joint security campaigns of the General Security Directorate, yesterday, Saturday, resulted in the arrest of 97 wanted persons suspected of imposing royalties and intimidating citizens, among them five of the classified very dangerous."
He explained that "the security campaigns to arrest the dangerous and suspicious wanted persons will continue until they are all caught and the society is rid of their actions."

The security crackdown comes days after a group of precedents amputated the hand of a 16-year-old Jordanian boy last Tuesday to avenge his father in the Zarqa Governorate in northeastern Amman, in a crime that shocked the kingdom.
