PM urges vigilance after Syria shell kills Jordanian

Ramtha, June 27 (Petra) – Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour said Saturday the
repercussions of the long Syrian war on neighbouring countries will persist,
urging Jordanians to maintain vigil after a shell, fired in fierce fighting
in southern Syria, struck the border city of Ramtha, killing a young man.

Ensour was speaking in Ramtha near the Syrian border, where he offered
sympathies to the family of the victim, 23-year-old engineering student
Abdel Munim Hourani, who was killed by the shell that struck the market and
also left four other people injured.

"His martyrdom is a result of injustice and shells fired in an unrestrained
way. One of the forms of this injustice is that the innocent are dying while
on their way to work, university or mosque, no matter who fires these
shells, since these are being fired close to populated areas," he said.

He said the incident had rocked the whole country as did the martyrdom of
Royal Air Force pilot Muath Kasasbeh, "which calls upon us as one Jordanian
people to be vigilant as the war in Syria has gone on for long and its
impact on regional countries will remain."

The prime minister said the people of Ramtha had over the past four years
borne the brunt of the Syrian conflict, urging the local people "not to harm
the Syrian brothers by words or deeds since they are guests, who have sought
a safe refuge from the war and destruction in their country."

Ensour also took the occasion to decry deadly attacks in Kuwait, Tunisia and
France yesterday, which killed dozens of people.

"We are all filled with sadness and shame at what happened yesterday in
Kuwait, Tunisia and France, and at killings (carried out) in the name of
Islam," he said, adding that the attacks had inflicted more harm on Islam
than any armies in the past.

Meanwhile, a number of ministers visited the three people, injured as a
result of the shell that struck the Ramtha market, who continue to be under
treatment in the hospital, and were reassured about their condition and the
care being provided to them.
