Dozens of Jordanians protest against U.S. strike on Syrian

Dozens of Jordanians on Saturday held a sit-in protesting strikes by the U.S. against military targets in Syria.

During the sit-in, the participants chanted slogans against the U.S. interference in Syria's affairs.

The participants, including political party members and activists, held Syrian flags, picture of Syrian President Assad and banners in support of Syria and the Syrian government.

The sit-in was held near the Syrian embassy in Amman.

Showing support for political solutions to end the crisis in Syria, the protestors voiced their rejection of any interference or strikes by the U.S. against Syria.

On Friday, the United States struck a Syrian air base in the country's central region and caused losses, a Syrian military source said.

The attack targeted the Shayrat military base in the central Homs province, the source told Xinhua.

The state TV called the attack an "American aggression."

The extent of losses remained unknown, the source said, adding that the army's general command is awaiting reports from Homs.

The attack marked the U.S. response to the alleged chemical attack on rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhoun in the countryside of Idlib province in northwestern Syria, reports said.

Washington accused the Syrian army of being behind the toxic attack, an allegation totally denied by Damascus. Endit
