“In the absence of any other obvious motive for the shooting it will be assumed that the killings were intended as an act of solidarity with militant groups in the Middle East.”
“Jordan policeman kills American and South African trainers,” BBC, November 9, 2015:
A Jordanian policeman has opened fire at a police training centre outside Amman, killing two Americans, a South African and a Jordanian, officials say.
The Jordanian embassy in Washington said the assailant wounded five others, including two Americans and three Jordanians, before being shot dead.
President Barack Obama said the US was taking the attack “very seriously”.
The US-funded Jordan International Police Training Centre (JIPTC) hosts mainly Palestinian and Iraqi officers.
Civilian contractors from the US and elsewhere assist Jordanian police trainers at the facility in Muwaqqar, on the eastern outskirts of Amman.
Jordanian government spokesman Mohammed Momani told the Associated Press that an investigation had been launched into whether the motive for Monday’s shooting attack at the JIPTC was personal or political.
The assailant was a senior trainer with the rank of captain, a Jordanian security source was quoted as saying by Reuters….
BBC Middle East correspondent Kevin Connolly says the kingdom of Jordan steers a strongly pro-Western course in the turbulent waters of the Middle East.
It hosts joint military exercises with countries like the US and UK, and strongly supports the US-led coalition against Islamic State militants in Syria.
In the absence of any other obvious motive for the shooting it will be assumed that the killings were intended as an act of solidarity with militant groups in the Middle East, our correspondent adds.
The incident comes on the 10th anniversary of bombing attacks by al-Qaeda in Iraq on three hotels in Amman which killed more than 50 people.

Godwin says
I never heard of Russian trainers but mostly American, Americans should get the hell out of these ME countries to be safe.

Isn’t Jordan supposed to be a ‘moderate’ muslim country allied with the U.S.A?
Angemon says
Yes, I’m sure that in between rounds of golf Sheik Hussein will find the time to write a strongly worded email telling American staff they’re to take extra care in not offending the local “culture”…
Personal or political? As in, no other hypothesis is being considered?
Golly gee willers, what a coinkidink!
Bantheburka says
Political or personal…..like there is a difference that makes it ok? Dumbest comment I have ever heard.

Again, we can but wonder what happened? What triggered this? Was there a motive, or, just one more sad case of mental illness?
Maybe the following from IS will help us understand:
And from Dabiq Issue 10, citing Allah’s commands:
As IS therefore asserts in Dabiq 10, elsewhere, and most notably and in their daily lives:
As I stated, all one can do is stand back and wonder, what in this world caused this hit, what triggered it, what could possibly be behind it…?
Or reason, perchance, in the words of IS, it is due to “nothing more than words,” as in “Allah’s” words, “and a shared belief in the act of worship that is jihād….” Thus done “in obedience to Allah and His Messenger.”

Ann Barnhardt spelled this out in her koran excerpt reading and burning video 5 years ago — get up to speed folks – Jefferson had it down over 200 years ago.

Therefore damnation be upon Islam, Muslims and those who defend it/them, lie about it/them and make us vulnerable to them.

My way of looking at this I see a clear picture of workplace violence.
