Jordan said Tuesday Pakistan was interrogating four suspects over a recent plot to kidnap the kingdom's ambassador to Pakistan. “The Jordanian government is in touch with Pakistan's authorities and we are awaiting details about plot recently to abduct our ambassador to Islamabad Saleh Jawarneh,” government spokesman Nabil Sharif said. “We are confident that the authorities in Pakistan are capable of protecting the Jordanian embassy and its staff.” Sharif did not elaborate, but said Jawarneh is currently in Jordan. On Monday, Pakistani police announced the arrest of two highly experienced Taliban militants planning to attack top hotels and kidnap diplomats in Pakistan. The militants' identities and their targets weren't disclosed at the time. Pakistani police spokesman Naeem Iqbal says investigators were questioning the two Taliban militants in custody about their plans to kidnap the Jordanian ambassador and attack a five star hotel and a club frequented by Westerners. “They have confessed to having planned taking the targets,” Iqbal said. “Officers are questioning them about details of their plan.”
