A gunman opened fire on tourists at the Roman Amphitheater in Jordan's capital on Monday, killing a British man and wounding six other people, including a police officer, officials said.
Interior Minister Eid al-Fayez said a British man was killed, while two British women, a Dutch man, an Australian woman, a New Zealand woman and a police officer were injured.
The man, clean-shaven and appearing to be his mid-30s, shouted "God is great!" before firing several shots at them, said an Iraqi witness, Mohammad Jawad Ali.
The worst attack, a triple suicide bombing at hotels in Amman in November, killed 60 people, including many Arabs. The attack was carried out by three suicide bombers working for al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

Just another "lone nut" with a gun.
Jordan needs stronger gun control laws.
They need a Million Mom March.
No ties to terrorism.
No ties to the ROP
Nothing to see....move along.

More likely he said Allah Akbar

Who in the heck goes to Jordan as a tourist? Especially with all that is going on in that part of the world.

Hezbollah is now going to work on Jordon, so that they can establish a 4th front against Israel. This is just the beginning.
The Jordanian Army should simply attack Syria and fry the bustards with US help. Jordan and the Jahalabiyahs must become US proxies in this war to combat Irans proxies.

"Who in the heck goes to Jordan as a tourist? Especially with all that is going on in that part of the world." I'm beginning to feel the same way about Europe.

Your screen name is particularly apt on this thread.

Good job, MSM. Four hundred and five words without actually identifying the murderer as a Muslim.

"God is great! Now let me kill a bunch of random people"
Don't be so hard the guy people, he probably was upset about some arranged marriage in Afghanistan last week, so something like that and was depressed and needed a lil pick-me-up.

LOL...
The guy was shot by a man who shouted "Allah Akbar!"
If a muzzie shouts "Allah Akbar", a Christian is shot... if a Christian shouts "Allah Fubar" he'll be shot too at the same time get sued by CAIR... lol

Yep, and "God is Great" is better known and more identified with these Islamofacists as "Allah Akbar" which they so kindly translated, just in case you might make the connection.
