JABER CROSSING, Jordan (Reuters) - Jordan fully reopened its main border crossing with Syria on Wednesday in a boost for their struggling economies following a push by Arab states to reintegrate a country they have shunned during its decade-long civil war.
A convoy of Syrian trailers waited to enter the Jordanian side of the border at the Jaber crossing. Police officers with dogs searched cars and coaches as they crossed through the gate. A stream of taxis with passengers also lined up to pass through customs and immigration control.
