Three US troops were killed in a shooting attack outside a Jordanian training facility on Friday, a US official said, following earlier reports that one or two US personnel were dead.

“A total of three US service members died today in the incident in Jordan,” the official said. “Initial reports were that one was killed, two injured. The two injured service members were transported to a hospital in Amman, where they died.”

“The service members were in vehicles approaching the gate of a Jordanian military training facility, where they came under small arms fire,” the official added. “We are working with the Jordanian government to gather additional details about what happened.”

A number of overseas media outlets are reporting that the vehicle with our personnel in it was fired upon because the vehicle refused to stop.

Also being reported, that there has been some “friction” recently between Jordanian and US personnel.

3 men killed is not an incident.
It either is an accident or murder/massacre.

Sick of this establishment ruler polished media reports

Jordanians are a funny bunch. In Afghanistan one of their officer with body guards (probably part of the King’s family) barged in wanting to take
pictures of Apaches expecting me to let them in. I told them to wait and I called an officer.

Then they had a private harem prison in the middle of their encampment. At first I thought they brought their wives and kept them locked up there, but I think they were prostitutes. There was no way of ever seeing them. I only happened to walk by a crack in a solid concrete wall hearing a commotikn and peered through it only to find to my amazement a bunch of non combatant arab women having some dispute amongst each other.

Also I think the reason I saw an Afghan pimp with 10 year old
kids with jingles on the ankles once
on base must have been for the Jordanians or Afghan police...

Welcome to “the global force for
good”
