Israel and Jordan in diplomatic standoff after embassy deaths
Israel and Jordan are involved in a diplomatic standoff after an Israeli guard reportedly shot dead a Jordanian attacker near the embassy in Amman.
Jordanian police want to question the guard and have sealed off the area, but Israel says he has diplomatic immunity.
A second Jordanian hit by the gunfire died in hospital. Israel says he was inadvertently shot.
It is one of the most serious incidents between the two countries since they signed a peace treaty in 1994.
