Jordanian MP Imad al-Adwan, who was arrested by Israeli authorities last month for attempting to smuggle over 200 firearms into the West Bank, was released on Sunday to face trial back home. The Shin Bet security agency said al-Adwan was caught with 194 handguns and 12 assault rifles at the Allenby crossing as he was heading into the West Bank by car. The investigation found that al-Adwan carried out the smuggling using his diplomatic passport, and was receiving “large sums of money.”
