Israeli 'kills attacker' at Jordan embassy

An Israeli guard has shot dead a Jordanian who attacked him with a screwdriver next to the Israeli embassy in Jordan, Israeli officials say.

A second Jordanian was inadvertently killed in the gunfire, Israel says. The guard was reportedly wounded.

The attacker was a carpenter working in a residential building used by the embassy, an Israeli statement said.

It is one of the most serious incidents between the two countries since they signed a peace treaty in 1994.
