A deadly terrorist attack designed to kill thousands which had been codenamed ‘9/11 the second’ by plotters has been foiled by Jordanian security forces, it was claimed tonight.

Authorities say the al-Qaeda cell wanted to inflict ‘the heaviest human losses possible’ with coordinated suicide strikes on shopping centres and Western diplomats in the country’s capital capital Amman.

Last night 11 suspects who planned on carrying out bombings using smuggled weapons and explosives brought from Syria were in police custody, it is claimed.

Had the plot come to fruition, the death toll could have reached thousands and destabalised the country’s security and had been going on since June.

But intelligence agencies had been monitoring the conspiracy from day one, Jordanian official said.

    And now Al Quada is discovered hatching a terrorism plot.

    We could play connect the dots but it’s not so much fun when there is only two.
