Syria unrest threatens Jordan Rally

Next month's Jordan Rally hangs in the balance tonight as the FIA meets with the teams to discuss the political unrest in neighbouring Syria. While Jordan remains free from the political problems which have struck other Middle East countries, the boat transporting the World Rally Championship teams' kit docks in Syria. Team personnel will then have to drive through the country, close to Deraa where gunfire was heard as protesters marched through the city following the funerals of 25 people shot dead by security forces on Wednesday
