Syria’s rebels blew up a vehicle transporting a number of Jordanian intellectuals, writers and journalists in Daraa countryside Thursday who were on a visit to Syria, wounding five,’’ State-run news agency SANA reported.
Rebels have remotely detonated an explosive device attached to the vehicle 10 km away from the Jordanian-Syrian borders, Atef Zaid al-Kilani, who were in the vehicle, told SANA reporter.
‘’The blast caused slight injury to Issa Shtat, Jihad Ebeidat, Faiza Ahmad, Hussein Mtawe' and Amjad Ebeidat,’’ Kilani added.
Al-Kilani said this terrorist attack aimed at targeting Jordanian and other supporters who stand against the aggression facing Syria, stressing that such acts will not intimidate the Jordanian supporters or make them change their position towards Syria.
''The Jordanian delegation participated in a symposium held on November 18-19 by the Arab Writers Union, the Jordanian Writers Association and the Jordanian Popular Committee for Supporting the Syrian people,'' Regime Agency said.
