Jordan air force strikes cars near Syria

Jordan's army says the country's air force has attacked cars that were at the kingdom's border with neighboring Syria.

An army statement says the attack happened Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. (0730 GMT). The statement says the camouflaged vehicles were driving in a rugged area near the border and ignored demands to stop from security forces.

The statement says Jordanian warplanes fired warning shots at the vehicles. The statement says the vehicles didn't stop and were then destroyed in airstrikes. The statement did not say how many vehicles were destroyed, nor did it offer casualty figures. (AP)
