Jordan said today that unidentified gunmen killed a Jordanian security officer during an attack on a field hospital in Iraq.
The official Petra news agency quoted Information Minister Nabil al-Sharif as saying the security officer was killed in Falluja, west of Baghdad.
Witnesses earlier said US troops killed eight members of a local US-backed Iraqi security force and three thieves in Falluja this morning. It is not clear if the two incidents were linked.
