Jordan shoots dead five approaching its borders from Syria

AMMAN -- Jordan's army said on Sunday its border guards killed five people who were approaching its frontier from Tanf, a Syrian desert town where U.S. special forces training rebels are based.

 

The town has been a flashpoint in recent weeks as militias backed by Iran have tried to get near the U.S. garrison, prompting U.S. coalition jets to strike back.

 

The Jordanian army said it destroyed a car and two motorbikes in the incident.
