Description
The Islamic Action Front is a political party in Jordan. It is the political wing of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan.
Founded in 1992 with 350 initial members, Engineer Ahmed Azaida, Dr Ishaq Farhan and Dr Abdul Latif Arabiyat were the main force behind the formation.
Sheikh Hamzeh Mansour is the chief of the IAF and has declared the organization's intentions as eventually wanting "to be treated as free men" and as wanting "relations with the US based on mutual respect", while questioning US Administration's motives in the Middle-East and around the World.
