Video Shows U.S. Soldiers Surrendering before Fatal Shooting in Jordan
(New York Times) Dave Philipps and Ben Hubbard - Newly released video of the killing of three American Special Forces soldiers on Nov. 4, 2016, at the gate of the al-Jafer military base in Jordan shows that the episode - which was initially explained as a mistake by a Jordanian guard firing on Americans who failed to stop - was actually a six-minute gun battle where Americans crouched behind barriers and repeatedly waved their hands in surrender as the gunman closed in and killed them. The footage was made public on Monday by the Jordanian military.
