In a separate incident, downtown Amman a number of men tried to attak the Islamic leader Hamza Mansour after Friday prayer while he was participating in a peaceful rally.

The movement, which leaded by the former prime Minister and ex-chief of Jordanian intelligence agency Ahmad Obidat, stated that such violent attacks will not dissuade Jordanians from continuing their popular and peaceful movement calling for political and constitutional reforms in the country.

Protestors on Friday were calling for political and economic reforms, stopping price hike, and combating corruption,
