Army arrests two foreign infiltrators

AMMAN — Border Guards on Sunday at dawn foiled a new infiltration attempt by two foreigners who attempted to cross from Jordan into a “neighbouring country”, an official source at the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) said. 

The source added in a JAF statement sent to The Jordan Times that the two were referred to the concerned authorities. 

The border units announce all actions taken against infiltrators, who are reportedly either smugglers or terrorists trying to sneak into Syria or into Jordan from the northern neighbour.

Army statements customarily stress that troops deal with the situation in accordance with the rules of engagement and stress that JAF would use the necessary force to protect the country’s borders.
