A witness says that in the latest deadly attack in Jordan, security forces walked into an ambush at a militants' hideout.

A retired Newfoundland teacher was among 10 people killed in a deadly attack in a medieval castle in the city of Karak in Jordan.

Jordanian security forces said they killed four "terrorist outlaws" after flushing them out of a castle in the southern city of Karak where they had holed up after a shoot-out that killed nine people.
