AMMAN — Border Guards have prevented a suspected attempt to smuggle narcotics into the Kingdom from Syria over the last 48 hours, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported on Sunday.

Three suspects tried to cross the border from Syria into Jordan, with security personnel applying the rules of engagement which forced them to retreat to Syrian territory, Petra reported.

Border Guards seized 28,000 Captagon pills, 542 palm-sized sheets of hashish and a number of automatic weapons. The seized items were handed over to the relevant authorities.
