Two US military trainers killed at air base

Two US military trainers have been shot dead in an exchange of fire at an air base in Jordan, Jordan’s military says.

The shooting occurred when the car they were in failed to stop at the gate of the base and was fired on by Jordanian security forces, a Jordanian military source told Reuters news agency.

The incident took place at the Prince Faisal air base in the south of the country.

A Jordanian officer was also wounded, the military said.

Jordan is a close ally of the US.
