The four are said to have set up a terrorist cell last year "to attack Americans and Jews present in Jordan" after meeting at a mosque in the town of Zarqa, northeast of Amman.
Three of the suspects were arrested on January 31, but the Finance Ministry employee has eluded capture.
The group practiced shooting at mock targets on a range set up at a farm owned by the uncle of one of them.
One suspect is a worker at a stone quarry, another is a sales agent and another is described as having military training. They are between ages 25 and 29.
