Jordanian officials said today that suspected terrorists detained this week carrying explosives may have belonged to al-Qaida and been linked to plots to blow up vital public facilities to destabilise the US-allied Arab kingdom.

In light of the fears, security forces have beefed up patrols and car searches across the capital, Amman, and issued alerts and rewards for three wanted fugitives and two cars with explosives believed associated with the men arrested earlier this week, officials said.

The terror suspects in custody were arrested when their vehicle - filled with explosives, detonators and bombs - was nabbed in a Jordanian town on the Syrian border.

They confessed to plotting a series of deadly terror attacks in Jordan, officials close to the investigation said.

Jordanian officials, said that cars carrying the suspected terrorists and explosives entered the country from neighbouring Syria, claims which Damascus denies.
