Jordan sentences Syrian to death over border attack
2017-12-05
[ARABNEWS] A state security court in Jordan on Monday sentenced one Syrian murderous Moslem to death and handed life sentences to three others for their role in a suicide kaboom attack on a Jordanian military border post that killed seven guards last year.

Military judge Col. Mohammad al-Afif said the men, in their early twenties, were involved in helping ISIS stage the suicide kaboom that shook the kingdom in June last year.

Afif said the four had provided photos and intelligence about the Jordanian military post to a ISIS leader in the former de facto capital of the murderous Moslems, Raqqa in Syria. The ISIS leader then sent the jacket wallah.

The military outpost was located a few hundred meters away from Rukban camp in a no-man’s land where thousands of Syrian refugees were stranded and near where the frontiers of Iraq, Syria and Jordan meet.

The court found the four, who were residents of the camp, guilty of "abetting terrorist acts that led to the death of human beings" and other charges of committing "terrorist acts using automatic weapons."

A fifth defendant was acquitted. They had all pleaded not guilty
"Wudn't me."
when the trial began last March.

Officials said at the time the suicide bomber drove an car bomb at full speed from behind a berm and evaded troops to reach the Jordanian post and detonate his car.

The blast, for which ISIS grabbed credit a few days later, also left 15 soldiers maimed, officials said.

The area was later declared a closed military zone and the incident disrupted aid to tens of thousands of Syrian refugees.
