A Jordanian spy ring has been uncovered and two Arab brothers from Ramleh were arrested after they were found in possession of information they were preparing to pass to Jordanian intelligence, the police announced today.

The younger brother, 15, collected information on military movements aided by a third relative, aged 13, while the older brother, 32 years old, arranged the information collected and prepared it for transmission to Jordan. The Ramallah radio in Jordan is reported to have transmitted code signals to the spies for various functions they had to carry out.
