Jordan officer killed in Afghan bombing: army

A Jordanian officer was killed and four soldiers were wounded in a roadside bombing in the Logar region of Afghanistan on Sunday, the army said. An army spokesman said a Jordanian army humanitarian convoy was hit, naming the dead officer as Majed Omar Abu Kudairi. The lives of the four soldiers wounded were not in danger.
Jordan says it has troops in Afghanistan on a no-combat humanitarian mission, and the Arab state has since 2010 undertaken the training of Afghan police at the request of Nato.
