AMMAN — The State Security Court (SSC) on Sunday sentenced four suspects for five years for intercepting a bus near Maan and robbing some of the passengers’ belongings under threat earlier this year.

The defendants used stones, tyres and sharp objects to block the road and stop a transport company bus carrying 50 passengers on the way to Aqaba.

They impersonated police officers, according to court documents.
