Jordan has frozen approximately half a billion dollars in Libyan assets in response to a request from the United Nations Security Council.
According to a Jordanian finance official quoted Monday by The Associated Press, the Hashemite Kingdom also froze some $782 million in Libyan investments on the Amman Stock Exchange.
The finance official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the freeze took effect about five weeks ago.
Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi is no fan of Jordan, which has sent its fighter jets to help NATO enforce a no-fly zone over his country, which has been wracked by a civil war.
The official Petra news agency last Wednesday quoted Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh as saying Jordan had offered "logistical support for enforcement of the no-fly zone mandated by a United Nations resolution."
The Royal Jordanian Air Force was also intended to protect humanitarian aid flights, Judeh said, the first of which landed at Benghazi airport a week ago. He declined to reveal how many fighter jets had been sent to the European air base.
Qaddafi has also criticized the Hashemite Kingdom because it is allied with the United States and has a formal peace treaty with the State of Israel.
