Since the Jordanian Islamic Resistance has neither claimed an attack nor spoken publicly since 2000, the threat of future attacks from this group is low.  The breadth of their past attacks indicates that they were most likely a small group and therefore not equipped to carry out any type of prolonged terrorist campaign.  However, it is unclear whether the Jordanian government successfully apprehended known members, which makes it highly possible that those involved in the Israeli embassy shootings joined larger groups with similar ideologies, either based in Jordan or other regions of the Middle East.

The Jordanian National Liberation Movement is the name of a group that claimed responsibility for the failed hijacking of a Royal Jordanian Airlines flight from Cairo to Amman in 1972.  <P><br />In the only incident associated with the group, an unidentified individual attempted to hijack a Jordanian-bound flight with a hand grenade in order to divert the plane to Tripoli in Libya. The man, however, was subdued by Jordanian security guards and detained. It is unclear what the man's ultimate goal was in the hijack attempt, and he did not affiliate himself with any particular group.  Nevertheless, a group calling itself the Jordanian National Liberation Movement claimed responsibility for the attack. <P><br />The motives of the individual hijacker or the group as a whole are almost entirely unknown. It is possible that the individual was acting alone and the group opportunistically took responsibility for the failed hijacking. However, given that the hijack attempt failed, it seems unlikely that a group would rush to take credit for it unless it was actually involved. <P><br />The group has never been associated with another terrorist incident, making it difficult to determine the group's goals and ideology.  The early 1970s saw an upswing in Palestinian terrorist incidents against the Jordanian monarchy, including many airplane hijackings, although it is unknown whether the Jordanian National Liberation Movement had any ties to the Palestinian nationalist movement. <br />
