Five people have been killed in an attack on Jordanian intelligence officers at a Palestinian refugee camp on the outskirts of the capital, Amman, government officials say.
They described the incident, rare in Jordan, as a "terrorist attack". Three of the five people killed were intelligence officers, the officials said.
The attack took place at the sprawling Baqaa camp north of Amman at about 07:00 local time (04:00 GMT).
The Baqaa camp was one of six set up in 1968 for Palestinian refugees fleeing the West Bank and Gaza Strip as a result of the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.
