Jordan says it has arrested 16 people, thwarting a plot that threatened national security and involved manufacturing and illegally importing rockets, explosives and a drone production site, Al Jazeera reports.

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam’s office said he called his Jordanian counterpart, Jafar Hassan, to say Lebanon refuses to be a launch point for any actions that would threaten the security of friendly countries.

He expressed readiness to cooperate with the Jordanian authorities as necessary regarding the information that “some of those involved in these schemes received their training in Lebanon”.
