約旦軍方:敘利亞邊境發生汽車炸彈爆炸，6名軍人喪生

A Jordanian army official said Tuesday a car bomb that exploded along Jordan's border with Syria killed six soldiers and wounded 14 others. The blast happened in the Rukban area where tens of thousands of people fleeing the violence in Syria have sought refuge as they try to get into Jordan.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack. Jordan's army said it destroyed several other vehicles that were involved, but did not provide more details.

The United Nations has already registered more than 650,000 refugees in Jordan. The nation of 8 million people is hosting many more than that and like other countries bordering Syria has struggled to cope with the added strain of providing for so many extra people. U.N. appeals for aid money have fallen far short of their goals.一名約旦軍方官員星期二說，一枚汽車炸彈在約旦與敘利亞邊界爆炸，造成6名軍人死亡，14人受傷。爆炸發生在魯克班地區，那裏居住着數萬名逃離暴力，希望進入約旦尋求庇護的敘利亞難民。

目前還沒有人宣稱對襲擊事件負責。約旦軍方說，爆炸摧毀了幾輛涉嫌襲擊的汽車，但沒有透露更多細節。

約旦境內在聯合國登記註冊的難民已超過65萬，而事實上的難民人數遠遠不止於此。約旦人口爲800萬，跟其他與敘利亞接壤的國家一樣，爲這些難民提供食宿給約旦帶來了很大壓力。聯合國呼籲爲接納難民的國家提供資金援助，但到位資金遠未達到預設目標。
