History

Assabeel was launched by the Muslim Brotherhood members in Jordan in 1993.[2][3] Editor-in-chief of the paper is Atef Al Joulani.[4] The paper was the continuation of the Brotherhood's official publication Al Ribat.[2] The 2002 circulation of the paper was reported by Saud Abu Mahfuz, general manager of the weekly, to be 17,000.[2] The paper became daily in 2009.[5]
