Malaysian tourists caught up in deadly shooting return from Jordan

KUALA LUMPUR: All 20 Malaysians, including two who were injured while they were at Karak Castle - location of a shooting incident between Jordanian security forces and gunmen in the town of Karak, Jordan on Sunday - arrived home yesterday.

A spokesman at the Foreign Ministry said they arrived at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) in Sepang at 9.05pm.

"They are now back in the country after two of them, who were injured, completed their treatment at a hospital there," he said when contacted by Bernama here, today.

The two Malaysian tourists were injured by shards of glass, which scattered after shots were fired, while they were on a bus which happened to be passing the area at the time.

The attack, which took place 132km south of Jordan's capital Amman, killed at least nine people, including a Canadian tourist, three civilians and five policemen. -- BERNAMA
