Jordanian airstrikes target Syrian drug lord and family, killing all.

Alleged Jordanian airstrikes have killed a Syrian drug kingpin, his wife, and six children in the village of Shuab in Sweida province near the Jordanian border. The strikes come a day after Arab governments reinstated Syria to the Arab League following the country’s suspension for its crackdown on protests. Western governments estimate that captagon has generated billions of dollars in revenue for President Bashar Assad, his Syrian associates, and allies. Jordan is believed to be behind the airstrike, with the captagon producer among the most-wanted by the Jordanian authorities for facilitating drug smuggling across the border with the backing of a small militia.
