JERUSALEM — Three American military trainers were shot to death on Friday in an exchange of gunfire at an air force base in Jordan, the Jordanian military said. “The service members were in vehicles approaching the gate of a Jordanian military training facility, where they came under small-arms fire,” the official said. American and Jordanian soldiers conducted live-fire military exercise together just last month, culminating two weeks of joint training. The United States and Arab partners have also run a training program for Syrian rebels on Jordanian territory. It was unclear what led to Friday’s shooting, but it could unsettle relations between Jordan and the United States for the near term.
