Jordan disclaims sending Special Forces to Afghanistan
Jordanian Government disclaimed news saying ßthat Afghani security sources said that Jordanian Special Forces soldiers are in southeastern Afghanistan to participate in the operations against Al-Qaeda. Official speaker of the Jordanian Government Asma Al-Khedher asserted Friday that Jordan is playing mere humanitarian role in Afghanistan through the field hospital and the force that protects it in Mazar Al-Sharif city, which is hundreds of kilometers far from the Afghani-Pakistani borders.
Hmmm... We've heard that "humanitarian" story before. Guess it works both ways...
A news agency quoted an Afghani source, who denied identification, as saying that "100 soliders of the Jordanian Special Forces arrived earlier this week to participate in the operations against Al-Qaeda".
Blabbermouth.
The source added, "the mission of these forces is to join the foreign fighters in Al-Qaeda heavily existing in the borders area". The source also noted that "the American Army is launching a psychological war by spreading false information on Taliban and Al-Qaeda networks to confuse them".
