Amman - One of the suspects arrested in Britain by police investigating three failed car bombings is a Jordanian doctor called Mohammed Jamil Abdelkader Asha, officials in Jordan said on Monday.
The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said his wife had also been arrested.
Asha, 27, is of Palestinian origin and carries a Jordanian passport, they said. He obtained his medical degree in Jordan in 2004.
His father Jamil AbdelKader Asha told AFP he had not been informed of his son's arrest and had learnt about it only through the media.
"My son is incapable of such acts," he said.
He called on Jordan's King Abdullah II to intervene with the British authorities, saying "Not all Arabs are terrorists".
