A gunman fired more than a dozen bullets at a group of foreign tourists visiting an ancient Roman amphitheater in Amman, Jordan, on Monday, killing a British man and wounding seven others. Two British women, two Australian women, a Dutch man, a New Zealander, and a Jordanian policeman were also hit. The attacker was identified as Nabeel Ahmed Issa Jaourah, a Jordanian from Zarqa province, the home region of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
