It confirmed that the seized items were transferred to the competent authorities to complete the necessary legal procedures.
At the end of last month, the Jordanian Armed Forces announced that the Southern Military Zone had foiled an attempt to smuggle a quantity of drugs via a drone on the western front within its area of responsibility. The statement confirmed that the seized narcotics were retained and handed over to the competent authorities to complete the necessary legal procedures.
Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi had earlier confirmed efforts to secure the borders during a meeting with the Foreign Minister of the Syrian Interim Government, Asaad Al-Shibani, in the Jordanian capital, Amman.
