Jordan says 5 drug traffickers killed along Syrian border

 [Rudaw] The Jordanian army on Sunday said its border forces killed five narcos and injured four others as they were attempting to smuggle narcotics from Syria.
Amman has strengthened its crackdown on drug trafficking from neighboring Syria which has turned into a regional narcotic hub following over a decade of civil war.
"The Eastern military district, in coordination with the military security services and the anti-narcotics administration, thwarted, at dawn on Sunday... an attempt to infiltrate and smuggle large quantities of narcotic substances coming from Syrian territory," a statement from the Jordanian Armed Forces read.
The statement added that five traffickers were killed, four others were maimed, while a "large quantity" of drugs were seized.

Numerous meetings have taken place between Jordanian and Syrian officials in an attempt to curb the illicit drug trade, but Amman remains dissatisfied with the outcome of these talks.
