Jordan rejects Assad claim it plans to send troops to Syria
Jordan has rejected as "baseless" claims that it plans to deploy troops in neighboring Syria in coordination with the United States.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad made the allegation in an interview Friday with the Russian news website Sputnik. Russia is an Assad ally in Syria's six-year-old civil war.
Assad told Sputnik that "Jordan was part of the American plan since the beginning of the war in Syria."
