A military tribunal jailed five Jordanian Muslim hardliners on Monday for trying to join the Al-Qaeda-linked Al-Nusra Front to fight against Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces, a court official said.
"The state security court sentenced the five Salafist convicts, who have ties of friendship, to five years in jail with hard labour each for attempting to infiltrate Syria and join Al-Nusra and fight the Syrian regime," he told AFP. (AFP)
