Three Syrians admitted to Jordan for medical treatment

AMMAN — Authorities have allowed three Syrians from the Rakban settlement near Jordan’s border to enter the Kingdom for medical treatment, an official said on Monday.  

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, did not say if any new security measures are in place along the border, following a suicide attack on Sunday. 

A suicide bomber believed to be from the Daesh terror group killed three people and injured at least 20 others in an attack on an outpost manned by a Syrian rebel group at the Rakban camp, according to Reuters.

The attack targeted the Jaish Al Ashair rebel group, said Saeed Saif, spokesperson for the Forces of Martyr Ahmed Al Abdo Brigades, a Free Syrian Army rebel group fighting against Daesh.

Over 75,000 displaced Syrians are stranded in the no-man’s-land near Jordan’s northeastern border.

Jordan sealed its side of the border following a terror attack in June that killed seven troops and injured 13 at an outpost dedicated to serving refugees.
