AMMAN – Border Guards on Sunday foiled an infiltration attempt by two “foreign” persons who were trying to cross from Jordan into a neighbouring country, an official source at the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army said Monday.

Border Guards executed rules of engagement taken in such cases, arrested the suspects and referred them to the concerned authorities, the source said.
