900 Jordanian terrormilitants fighting in Syria and Iraq

Around 900 Jordanians are currently fighting for ISIS and al-Qaeda inspired groups in Syria and Iraq but recruitment numbers have fallen sharply to their lowest ever levels, a senior Jordanian official told Reuters on Tuesday.


Those now fighting in Iraq and Syria had mostly left Jordan, a staunch U.S. ally which borders the two countries, in the early years of the conflict between 2013 and 2014 according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
