AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — Jordan announced Wednesday a sweeping ban on the Muslim Brotherhood that could include shutting down the country's largest opposition party, after accusing the group of planning attacks.

Days after arresting members of the group over terrorism charges, Jordan has banned transnational Islamist organisation Muslim Brotherhood and confiscated its offices and assets

The move could shutter the country’s largest opposition party, the Islamic Action Front, which is the Brotherhood’s political arm in Jordan.
