Egypt announced on Thursday one of its citizens was shot dead by Jordanian border guards when attempting to cross Jordan’s Syrian frontier.
Al-Morsy Mohamed, 33, from Kafr el-Sheikh, who worked in Jordan, was killed when trying to cross the borders. He was accompanied by individuals from other nationalities, according to Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mohamed Abdel Hakam.
One illegal immigrant was killed by a Jordanian citizen, Abdel Hakam said in a statement.
Abdel Hakam urged citizens to respect immigration laws imposed by other countries hiring Egyptian labor and to follow legal means so as not to face penalties.
