Report: Syria says Jordan shuts main border crossing
2015-04-02
[Ynet] Syria's state news agency said Jordanian authorities had closed the main border crossing between the two countries on Wednesday, citing a source in the Syrian foreign ministry.

The source said Syria held Jordan responsible for the social and economic impact of the closure of Nasib crossing, which had blocked traffic.

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights had reported earlier on Wednesday heavy festivities between forces of Evil and Syrian forces near Nasib after the forces of Evil encircled the crossing area.
An Nahar adds:
A monitoring group said earlier that heavy fighting had erupted Wednesday when Syrian rebels including Islamists launched an attack on the border crossing, known as the Nasib post on the Syrian side.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the rebels had besieged the post and were facing air raids and rocket fire from regime forces.

The post is the last remaining border crossing with Jordan still in the hands of Syria's regime, as it battles rebels who launched an uprising against Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
