| Jordan and Syria have signed a security cooperation accord. Officials said the accord called for a joint effort to fight Islamic insurgency groups. Another agreement determined the border between Jordan and Syria. The agreements were part of 21 accords signed on Feb. 28 at the end of two days of meetings by the Joint Higher Commission. The panel was chaired by Jordanian Prime Minister Faisal Fayez and his Syrian counterpart Mohammad Otari. Officials said the security cooperation accord stipulated that each country would respect the extradition request of the other. They said this would include the extradition of those who illegally cross the Jordanian-Syrian border. |
