(MENAFN - Jordan Times) AMMAN - The government on Tuesday was looking into reports by Syrian news outlets that Jordanians were arrested on the backdrop of unrest under way in the northern neighbour.

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mohammad Kayed told The Jordan Times over the phone yesterday that the government was trying to verify the "authenticity" of news published on Monday in the Syrian news agency D Press about detaining four Jordanians, adding that "nothing substantial has been made out of the report so far".

Kayed added that the Jordanian embassy in Damascus is still following up on the news, adding that no official response has been provided yet by the Syrian government.

The Syrian news website D Press published a story on Monday saying that security forces in Latakia arrested four Jordanian nationals after firing gun from a car at government institutions in the coastal city.

Security personnel arrested four Jordanians who shot rounds from a car that has the registration plate of the Kingdom at the party [Baath] headquarters in Latakia, the news agency said.

D Press agency also said in the report that other nationals of various Arab nationalities were reportedly shooting at citizens from cars that have Syrian registration plates.
