AMMAN, Aug 20 (NNN-PETRA) – The Jordanian Armed Forces (JAF), said yesterday that, they had foiled an attempt to smuggle a large amount of narcotics from Syria into Jordan.
The JAF said in a statement that, the border guards, in coordination with the anti-narcotics department and other military forces, spotted a group of smugglers, who tried to cross the border illegally from Syria.
The army personnel applied the rules of engagement, which resulted in some of the smugglers injured and the others retreating back to Syria, according to the statement.
