2 JORDANIANS KILLED, 1 ISRAELI WOUNDED AT ISRAELI EMBASSY

-

Amman, Jordan — Two Jordanians were killed and an Israeli was wounded by gunfire Sunday in a residentia­l building in the heavily fortified Israeli embassy compound in Jordan’s capital, the kingdom’s Public Security Directorat­e said. It did not say what triggered the shooting. One of the Jordanians killed was a physician at the scene, the security agency said. The Israeli was in “unstable” condition, the new site said. The Israeli Foreign Ministry had no comment. The incident comes at a time of mounting tensions between Israel and the Muslim world over metal detectors Israel installed at a Jerusalem shrine revered by Muslims and Jews.
