Jordanian MP says son joined ISIS, carried out suicide attack

A Jordanian parliament member said he learned from Islamic State-linked media that his son carried out a suicide attack in Iraq, three months after dropping out of medical school and joining the extremist group.

 

The case highlights the continued grassroots appeal of ISIS ideas in the region, including in staunchly pro-Western Jordan, a partner in the US-led military campaign against the group. ISIS militants have seized large parts of Syria and Iraq, both neighbors of Jordan.
