Fayez said the casualties included the British man who died, plus two other wounded British women and the Jordanian police officer. In addition, one Dutch man, one Australian woman and one woman from New Zealand were injured in the shooting spree. «This is a cowardly terrorist attack, which we regret took place on Jordanian soil,» al-Fayez told reporters at the scene. «This operation is considered a terrorist act unless the man is found to be deranged,» he said. He said the gunman was being interrogated. «The investigation is under way and it's still early to tell,» Judeh, the government spokesman told The Associated Press. Judeh said the wounded were rushed to a nearby state hospital. The attack took place in broad daylight as the tourists visited the popular attraction in Amman's bustling downtown district.
