Three US service members have been killed outside a military base in southern Jordan, in an exchange of gunfire with Jordanian military guards. The deaths of the men – all military trainers working for the US government – was confirmed by Pentagon officials although details remain unclear. “A total of three US service members died today in the incident in Jordan,” the official 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 added. For the west, any sign of instability in Jordan is of great concern.
