Gunman kills five including US staff at police training centre in Jordan

JORDAN: -- A gunman has killed five people at a police training facility in Jordan before being shot dead by security forces.

The country’s embassy in Washington says those killed were two American instructors, a South African, and two Jordanians.

According to a security source the gunman was a senior co-trainer with the rank of captain.

His motive is not known.

Four others injured in the attack at the US-funded centre near the capital Amman were visited by King Abdullah.

The US security contractor DynCorp International confirmed its personnel were fired on.

Jordan is part of the US-led coalition battling against insurgents from the so-called Islamic State in neighbouring Iraq and Syria.

Fighter jets take off from Jordanian air bases to hit ISIL positions. King Abdullah believes strongly that the threat from the jihadists must be countered.

But the kingdom’s role has caused disquiet among some Jordanians who fear instability at their borders and Islamist attacks in their country.

Just what COULD it be???

Jordan has been a low profile Muslim-country friend of the US for decades...it is somewhat surprising that a country as relatively secure and stable as Jordan has been over the years to have this type of activity...

The long arm of the terrorists are reaching all countries thru the internet...there seems to always be some unstable easily duped people in every country willing to take up the ISIS cause and call for death and destruction...

There are very few places in the world now...that are perfectly safe from hideous terrorist activity...

One of the oldest books in the world claims that "wars...and rumors of war" would permeate the earth just prior to the end of the earth as we know it...

Just reminding all you free spirits...it is never too late to experience the freedom of forgiveness...

Forget about forgiveness - just stop bombing, invading, and devastating their countries.
