"There were no political motives for the assassination attempt; it was not related to the nature of the diplomat's work or post," a governmental source said. The incident happened over family and financial concerns, he added.
The authorized officials arrested four Iraqis following the attempt, two of whom entered Jordan with false Iraqi passports.
The investigation found that the Iraqi diplomat's father-in-law incited others to kill his son-in-law.
