His Majesty King Abdullah II has
voiced pride in the General Intelligence and Public Security Departments'
devoted efforts and highly appreciated their vigilance and alertness
to unveil and foil plans plotted by terrorist groups aimed to undermine
stability and security in the Kingdom through detonating vehicles filled
with highly explosive materials.



In a letter addressed to the King Advisor for Security Affairs
and Director of the General Intelligence Department and the State Security
Council Raporteur General Saed Kheir, King Abdullah hailed the brave
stand by the Jordanian people in cooperating with security forces to thwart
every attempt designed to harm our dear homeland.



"As the operation to apprehend members of the terrorist group,
that aimed to terrorize innocent people, has ended successfully, I'd would
like to express my pride, appreciation and gratitude to the intelligence
and public security personnel for their excellent efforts, their vigilance
and perseverance day and night until they unveiled the terrorist plots
designed to destabilize Jordan and harm its steadfastness," King Abdullah
said in the letter.



We have passed through very critical circumstances over the past
few days when we heard about horrible plans plotted against our loyal
people by a gang of terrorists, the King added. It was with God care
that their plans have been foiled and lives of thousands of people have
been saved from a crime that Jordan has never seen before in terms of
the quantity of explosives and the way the crime has been planned, said
the King.

In his letter, the King stressed that terrorist acts will never
"waive us from moving ahead to achieve our its Arab Hashemite message
and
to fulfill our vision to build a Jordanian model of democracy, freedom
and justice."

In a reply letter General Kheir said with God help and with
directives from His Majesty the King the criminal plan plotted a gang
of terrorists and sinisters was thwarted in a record time.

He hailed King Abdullah's relentless support to the security departments.
Those sinister should know that we are able to reach out to them wherever
they are and we are capable of thwarting their plans designed to terrorize
and intimidate children women and the elderly, Kheir said.
