Jordan has thwarted at least two recent attacks planned by agents linked to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network, Timemagazine has reported.
It quoted unnamed senior Jordanian officials as saying they arrested three men accused of plotting to bomb two resort hotels in Jordan after intercepting a phone call in which a bin Laden lieutenant mentioned a "big wedding" - suspected code for an attack.
Those arrests came a few days before the September 11th attacks by suicide hijackers on New York and the Pentagon, Timesaid.
Last month, according to Time, Jordanian officials uncovered a plot to blow up the US, British and Jordanian embassies in Beirut.
"As early as 10 years ago, [the late] King Hussein warned allies of bin Laden's burgeoning network," an unnamed former aide to the late king told Time.
Time said Jordan's King Abdullah had increased ties with the US Central Intelligence Agency since assuming the throne in 1999 on his father's death.
