Syria Audio Feature: Foreign Intervention and the "Second Front" in Jordan --- Scott Lucas with Monocle 24
Thursday, April 18, 2013 at 9:14 | Scott Lucas in EA Live, EA Middle East and Turkey, Middle East and Iran
Last night I spoke with Monocle 24's The Daily about the developing "second front" in Jordan, with the US and other countries putting in more forces --- overt and covert --- to support the insurgency in Syria and to protect Amman from "extremists".
Listen to interview from the 7:53 mark on The Daily homepage or in a pop-out window
I also discussed the significance of the temporary cease-fire in Aleppo to collect bodies (a compassionate gesture, but no more) and of President Assad's latest general amnesty (not much).
