Jordan arrests 10 Syrians for spying on refugees
2012-03-29
This clearly will be the tip of the iceberg. The Syrian secret police, I suspect, have operatives in Turkey doing exactly the same thing. Lebanon goes without saying.
AMMAN, Jordan: A Jordanian police official says 10 Syrian security defectors have been arrested on suspicion of spying on refugees and dissidents for President Bashar AssadÂ’s embattled regime.

The official says the 10 have been living in a compound run and guarded by Jordanian police in Mafraq, near the Syrian border. He says the men fled from the compound last Thursday but were arrested the same day. He says the men were all low-ranking army and police deserters who escaped to Jordan during the Syrian uprising. They claimed they fled because they opposed the Syrian regimeÂ’s alleged torture of civilians.

Jordan hosts an estimated 80,000 Syrian refugees.

The official insisted on anonymity, saying Sunday that public comment could undermine the ongoing investigation.

#2  Israel needs only to speak quietly in Yiddish and forget the world

Less than half of Israelis came from areas where Yiddish was spoken, newc. That's part of the reason Hebrew is the national language.

#1  Iran sent bunches of rousers to Syria. They want to take down Jordan. Want to shell up with 2 to 4 intels in a group of 55. Want to try Golan again The rest will stir up trouble with weapons already placed. Lots of coverage by Iran surrounding Israel.

Israel needs only to speak quietly in Yiddish and forget the world. They are not there for you so use shields.
