Jordan convicts 5 of trying to cross into Syria

Jordan's military court has convicted five Jordanians of trying to sneak into neighboring Syria to join rebels seeking to unseat President Bashar Assad.
 
The court sentenced the men in a brief hearing Monday to five years in jail with hard labor on charges of attempting to illegally cross the border to join a banned group.
 
Presiding judge Ahmed Qatarneh said the five  in their 20s and 30s  had confessed to planning to join the al-Qaida-linked Jabhat al-Nusra, or Nusra Front.
 
They were arrested in February 2012 on the Jordanian-Syrian border.
 
The prosecutor's indictment said the five were members of the hard-line Salafi Jihadi Movement. The group is banned in Jordan.
 
Security sources say several hundred Jordanians have joined rebels in Syria.
