Two more Jordanian nationals have been arrested in Munich in connection with Arab terrorist activities, a spokesman for the Security Group, Bonn’s special criminal police, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency today. They were not identified, so as not to impair further investigations. Two other Jordanians were arrested on similar charges ten days ago, one in Munich and one in Berlin. Significantly, the Jordanian Embassy here has made no effort to intervene on their behalf. The police did not disclose whether the new arrests were in connection with the attempt to hijack an El Al plane on Munich’s airport or the destruction by arson of a Jewish center and home for the aged in Munich.
