Jordanian security forces seize weapons cache smuggled using thermal balloons Jordan's Public Security Directorate (PSD) reports that it intercepted an explosive device containing automatic weapons and tactical equipment in the southern district of Krak today. The security forces were deployed to the town of Mohi following a civilian report of an abandoned package, and immediately set up a security fence while explosive ordnance disposal units and forensics experts checked the place. A subsequent technical inspection revealed nine automatic weapons and related GPS tracking materials packed inside one bag. Initial investigations by the security authorities indicated that the weapon load was transported to Jordanian territory using airborne thermal balloons, which drifted across the kingdom's southern border before landing in Karak.
