Israel embassy guard sought for questioning by Jordan leaves uninvestigated
‘A guard at the Israeli embassy in Jordan who recently killed two Jordanians has returned to Israel, evading questioning that had been initially sought by Amman.
He was sent back to Israel along with other embassy staffers on Monday. A day earlier, he had opened fire, killing a Jordanian who he said had attempted to attack him with a screwdriver, and a passerby.
The individual killed, named as 16-year-old Mohammad Jawawdah, had come to the diplomatic premises to install furniture, and his father has described him as “not a trouble-maker or a terrorist” and not affiliated with any political party.
“I want to know how the investigation is going and know what happened and what led to the killing of my son,” the father has said.
Jordan, which had initially barred the staff from leaving the country pending a probe, however, decided against looking into the incident after intervention by the United States.’
