1. (U) Jordanian security forces engaged in a three-hour
gun-battle with two gunmen early on January 9 in Irbid,
Jordan's second largest city, 52 miles north of Amman.
According to media, Sulayman Ghayyad al-Anjadi - a Jordanian
of Palestinian origin - was killed, and another Jordanian,
Ramadan Mustafa al-Manisi was arrested. The shooting began
when security forces raided a house in the Al-Matla area of
Irbid. The two men barricaded themselves in the house and
fired on Jordanian security officers, wounding several.
2. (C) According to Public Security Directorate (PSD)
contacts, the two gunmen were hiding in a single-family home
with three Kalashnikov rifles and two pistols. The GoJ
placed the home under surveillance January 8 based on
information developed by Jordan's intelligence service.
According to PSD Director Eitan, the entry into the home by
PSD's antiterrorist Unit 14 was difficult and the gunmen were
well trained and equipped. The raid left seven PSD members
lightly wounded.
3. (C) Anjadi was previously linked to Azmi Abdel Fattah Al
Jayyusi, who led a suspected Al Qaeda cell (reftels),and is
currently in prison in Jordan. GoJ authorities allege that
Anjadi was planning an attempt to help Jayyusi escape from
prison.
