Jordan imposed a media blackout on Tuesday on all information about an attack the previous day that killed five intelligence officers, the official Petra news agency reported.
It said the sweeping ban covered not only traditional media such as newspapers and broadcasters, but also internet sites and social media networks.
The blackout comes just hours after the government spokesperson said a suspect had been arrested following Monday's shooting at the Palestinian refugee camp of Baqaa, north of Amman.
The five intelligence officers had been starting their shift when a lone gunman struck at their office in the largest of the kingdom's 10 official Palestinian refugee camps.
