Amman: Gunmen on Tuesday killed a Jordanian policeman in a shootout in the city of Karak where a weekend attack claimed by the Islamic State group killed 10 people, a security source said.

A second policeman was wounded after security forces launched a raid in search of suspects linked to Sunday's attack, the source said, adding that the operation was ongoing.
