美国将派遣约200名士兵进驻约旦

 　　AMMAN, April 17 (Xinhua) -- The United States will send 200 soldiers to Jordan to enhance the capabilities¹ of the Jordanian army, the state-run Petra news agency reported Wednesday.

　　The move is part of the continuing cooperation between the Jordanian and the U.S. armies, especially in light of the worsening situation in Syria, Jordan's Minister of Media Affairs Mohammad Momani said.

　　Communications are underway between officials in the two countries to complete the process, he said.

　　Earlier this week, Jordan's Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour rejected reports as groundless that Jordan is providing military training to Syrian rebels who seek to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

　　Ensour denied the existence of any military or civil entity² in Jordan that provides such training, or any center affiliated³ to foreign armies that does the job.
