The Jordanian army said on Sunday it had killed one person and arrested six others who tried to cross the border from Syria. Officials said there has been a spike in such attempts in recent weeks by drug and arms smugglers linked to pro-Iranian militias who hold sway in southern Syria. Damascus denies any complicity and says it tries to curb rampant drug and arms smuggling across the border with Jordan.
