Jordan disclaims sending Special Forces to Afghanistan
2004-03-20
Jordanian Government disclaimed news saying ßthat Afghani security sources said that Jordanian Special Forces soldiers are in southeastern Afghanistan to participate in the operations against Al-Qaeda. Official speaker of the Jordanian Government Asma Al-Khedher asserted Friday that Jordan is playing mere humanitarian role in Afghanistan through the field hospital and the force that protects it in Mazar Al-Sharif city, which is hundreds of kilometers far from the Afghani-Pakistani borders.
Hmmm... We've heard that "humanitarian" story before. Guess it works both ways...
A news agency quoted an Afghani source, who denied identification, as saying that "100 soliders of the Jordanian Special Forces arrived earlier this week to participate in the operations against Al-Qaeda".
Blabbermouth.
The source added, "the mission of these forces is to join the foreign fighters in Al-Qaeda heavily existing in the borders area". The source also noted that "the American Army is launching a psychological war by spreading false information on Taliban and Al-Qaeda networks to confuse them".
