Syria Criticizes Jordan for Hosting Rebel Training

W300

Syrian state media have sharply criticized Jordan for hosting U.S.-backed training of Syrian rebels seeking to topple President Bashar Assad, warning that Amman risks falling into the "volcanic crater" of Syria's conflict.

The stern warning issued Thursday by state radio and in a front-page editorial in the daily al-Thawra, the mouthpiece of the Syrian government, will likely aggravate Jordan's security fears over the civil war in its northern neighbor.

Jordan worries that Syria could use chemical weapons against it, or that secret operatives linked to the Assad regime could carry out deadly attacks in the U.S.-allied kingdom.

U.S. and other Western and Arab officials say Jordan is hosting training camps for Syrian rebels.

Amman has publicly denied it is hosting such training efforts.

Wasn't one of the reasons that the USA invaded Afghanistan was to stop the training camps of terrorists that the Taliban was doing? Now they are the ones facilitating these camps. USA will do whatever serves its zionist agenda with the aid of these backward desert Arabs.

That is correct, but Josh is just a chia pretending to be a christan & spread anti sunni propaganda, the christian forces had the Palestinians measure, easily taken care of them, we outgunend them & were much more professional, it was the syrians who attacked & crippled the Lebanese forces, then after they did this, they came to us offering to help us, when infact all they did was kill us and weaken us to a point where we needed them
