Car bomb kills at least six Jordanian border guards
2016-06-21
[DW] An attack on the Jordan-Syria border claimed the lives of at least six Jordanian border guards and injured over a dozen others. A statement from Jordan's military Tuesday said, "At 5:30 a.m. a car bomb exploded in the Rukban district opposite the Syrian refugee camp, killing or wounding several Jordanian soldiers."

"Six soldiers have been martyred and 14 others were wounded in the terrorist attack," a Jordanian official said, calling the count a "preliminary toll."

The military said "a booby-trapped car" attacked a berm, which runs along the border. They said several other vehicles involved in the attack have been destroyed. No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.

The attack was reportedly launched from the Syrian side. It reportedly took place a few hundred meters from the Rukban camp for Syrian refugees, where the borders of Syria, Jordan, and Iraq meet.
