Huneiti directed
to change the rules of engagement in the armed forces and to pursue all
elements that seek to tamper with national security.
Two Jordanian
officers were killed Sunday in clashes with armed smugglers who attempted to
cross into Jordan from Syria.
Huneiti told fellow soldiers Monday that the General
Command attaches the highest priority to the border guards in supporting and
providing them with special forces and rapid reaction forces supported by
aircraft from the Royal Air Force, and overcoming all logistical struggles
within the areas of responsibility.
He added that this has played a great role in thwarting
infiltration and smuggling in all its forms, and reducing the entry of
narcotics and prohibited substances into
Jordanian territory within the
framework of the security plan implemented by the General Command to maintain
the security and stability of the borders of the Kingdom.
