Assad Agents Settle Scores with FSA in Jordan Refugee Camps
(NOW-Lebanon) Alex Rowell - Built for 60,000 Syrian refugees, Jordan's Zaatari Camp now houses over 160,000, with hundreds of new arrivals every night. Refugees said the Syrian regime has sent mukhabarrat [secret police] into the camp to keep tabs on Free Syrian Army (FSA) opponents, disrupt Jordanian efforts to maintain security, and foment disorder in general. "The mukhabarrat have bases here in the camp," said Ahmad, a refugee from Daraa. "Mostly they just collect information, but sometimes they attack people. There was an FSA general living in the camp, for example, who they assassinated." Ahmad said the Jordanians caught the perpetrators and handed them over to the FSA - who killed them.
