Lawyer Abdul-Same Mansour says the three Jordanian men were arrested last month and espouse the “takfiri” ideology — an extremist doctrine.

Prosecutors declined comment.

Abu-Mohammed Al-Maqdisi, known as the mentor of the slain leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, and three other militants are already on trial in Jordan's military court.

They are charged with recruiting militants in Jordan to join the Taleban in Afghanistan.
