Ramtha notables, 'Bahara' rally behind security forces

AMMAN — A number of Ramtha dignitaries and representatives of “Bahara” on Monday stressed their rejection of any form of law breaking, demanding stern action against those who assault security personnel. 

Condemning the recent incidents in the northern town, the notables noted that such people do not represent the stance of Ramtha’s residents, according to the Jordan News Agency, Petra.

“Bahara” is the Arabic term for sailors, used to describe drivers of vehicles carrying passengers to Syria, Iraq and other countries.

In a meeting on Monday, the dignitaries and representatives reiterated their stance behind the nation, its Hashemite leadership and its security authorities in combating crime, especially smuggling.
