AMMAN [MENL] -- Jordan has launched a reshuffle of its intelligence community.
Jordan's King Abdullah has replaced his intelligence chief, who served for
more than three years. Abdullah dismissed Lt. Gen. Mohammed Dahabi, director
of General Intelligence, responsible for internal security in the Hashemite
kingdom amid criticism of his secret talks with Hamas.
"You have proven yourself to be a very reliable and dedicated soldier
who contributed to the stability and security of the homeland," Abdullah
told Dahabi in a statement on Dec. 29.
