AMMONNEWS- Jordan on Saturday denied media reports that Arab and Afghan mercenaries are present in the kingdom in preparation of attacking Syria.
Minister of Media Affairs and Communications Rakan Majali on Saturday denied in statements to media outlets the claims made by the pro-Syrian Lebanese Al Jadeed Television last week that six thousand mercenaries from Libya, Morocco, and Afghanistan are in Jordanian hotels being trained by the American security company Blackwater.
Majali, who is also government spokesperson, categorically denied the reports, stressing that Libyans in the country arrived seeking medical treatment, blasting the media reports as “mere media incitement.”
The television report claimed that the anti-Syrian regime operation is complicated, citing participation by British intelligence, operations room in Tel Aviv, and cited that the mercenaries are present in Jordan readying to attack Syria under the cover of Syrian refugee camps in Jordan to appear that the operations are carried out by armed Syrians.
Meanwhile, Al Sharq newspaper reported statements from what it said are reliable government sources that Turkish intelligence agents are meeting with Libyan rebels in Amman in preparation for participation in operations against Syria’s Assad regime.
The television also stated that most of the Libyans in Jordan are not seriously injured and they participated in fighting against Gaddafi’s regime in Libya last year.
