Jordan Introduces New Security Measures

HeadlineNov 16, 2005

Jordan has introduced strict new security measures in the wake of last week’s hotel bombings in Amman. Under the new rules, Jordanians must provide authorities with the names, nationalities and passport details of any foreigners renting property.

Meanwhile, 11 top officials including the country’s chief of security submitted their resignations Tuesday.
