A gunman has opened fire on a group of foreign tourists in the Jordanian capital Amman, killing a British man.

The shooting happened at the Roman amphitheatre, a popular attraction.

Five other tourists were injured – two British women as well as tourists from New Zealand, the Netherlands and Australia. The gunman was arrested.

Militants have carried out a series of attacks in Jordan. Sixty people were killed in three suicide bomb attacks on hotels in November 2005.

Interior Minister Eid al-Fayez said the gunman had been arrested and was now being questioned. He said it was not clear yet whether the gunman was acting alone or was a member of any group.

“We as a government and people… regret the incident and hope it is a one-off which will not affect our tourism or security situation,” Mr Fayez said.
