THE OFFICIAL, identified by security officials as Lawrence Foley, was killed at 7:30 a.m. The officials, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, did not know his position at the U.S. Embassy.
“Gunmen sprayed the diplomat with several shots, killing him instantly,” Information Minister Mohammed Affash Adwan said.
A Western diplomat told Reuters the assailant fired a few shots before escaping after the shooting in an affluent part of Amman.
Adwan said he did not know if the attack on Foley was a terrorist incident.
The security officials said Foley’s wife called police after the attack.
