Two Americans and South African killed at police training centre in Jordan
[Guardian] Two Americans and a South African in Jordan have been killed in a shooting at a US-backed training centre for security officers from across the Middle East.
The deaths occurred at King Abdullah police training facility in Muwuaqqar, on the outskirts of Amman, and involved a Jordanian police officer, described as the shooter, who also died during the incident.
Four other trainers -- two Americans and two Jordanians -- were injured in the shooting, according to a government spokesman.
The incident took place on the 10th anniversary of a series of co-ordinated attacks by al-Qaida in Iraq, and seemed to bear a similarity to incidents in Afghanistan in which guns were turned on US trainers.
