Gunmen injure tourists in Amman
Security
Two gunmen, including at least one Iraqi, chanting 'Allahu Akbar', fired at a group of foreign tourists in the Jordanian capital Amman on Monday, wounding five, a security source and a witness said. The incident occured near the Roman amphitheater in the central area of the capital. Unconfirmed reports claim the tourists were from Holland, New Zealand and England. There was no immediate confirmation of the possible death and extent of injuries. So far, no group has claimed responsibility for the attack. Al Qaeda in Iraq set off bombs against three hotels in Amman last year injuring and killing dozens of people.
