Syria: Jordan Opening Borders for Rebels

Local Editor

A Syrian security official on Friday accused Jordan of opening borders to Syrian insurgents and allowing weapons to be smuggled into the country.

"We deplore the change of attitude of Jordan, which in the past 10 days has opened its borders and is allowing to cross over [into Syria] jihadists and Croatian weapons bought by Saudi Arabia," the source told Agence France Presse.
"There's been a change of attitude because up until now, Jordan had imposed strict controls on its border to prevent terrorists and weapons from entering," the source censured.

Last week, a Croatian daily reported that the country was used between November and December as a "transit point" for the transport of weapons and ammunition destined for insurgents fighting the Syrian regime.

It further mentioned the transportation of 3,000 tons of weapons and ammunition was organized by the United States using Turkish and Jordanian air cargo companies.
