AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — Two dozen men charged with supporting the Islamic State group squeezed into a cage in Jordan's state security court. Under toughened anti-terror laws, even liking or sharing the group's propaganda on social media can land someone a prison sentence. The extremists underscored their reach last week when they launched a suicide attack from Syria, detonating a car bomb near a Jordanian border post and killing seven soldiers in the deadliest attack in the kingdom in years. Over the years, jihadi recruitment has been fueled by high unemployment, restrictions on political expression and the perception that the world stands by as Sunnis are being slaughtered in Syria's civil war and the Sunni-Shiite conflict in Iraq. In Jordan, militant strongholds include poor urban areas, remote tribal towns and decades-old Palestinian refugee camps, where some feel like lesser citizens. The Jordanian intelligence agency closely monitors social media with an "electronic army," said Abu Rumman. Among them were five young men accused of being part of a cell plotting attacks on security installations, a charge their lawyer denied. In November, a police captain opened fire in an international police training facility, killing two Americans and three others. In June, a gunman killed five Jordanians in an attack on an intelligence agency branch in the Palestinian refugee camp of Baqaa. In March, Jordanian commandos and suspected IS supporters exchanged fire during an arrest raid, leaving seven militants and a member of the security forces dead.
