(18 Jun 2017) The fathers of two of the three American soldiers who were shot dead at a Jordanian military base are attending the latest hearing in the trial of the Jordanian serviceman accused of killing them.
Brian McEnroe and James Moriarty traveled to Amman to attend Sunday's hearing in a state security court.
The families have expressed outrage over the Jordanian government's initial claim that the three American Green Berets triggered the shooting by misconduct at the gate of the al-Jafr air base in southern Jordan.
Brian McEnroe, the father of killed soldier Kevin McEnroe, told the Associated Press on Saturday that "for whatever reason they've dishonoured our boys, and they've done it for seven months, and I want to see their honour restored. It's all they have left."
The father of the killed soldier James F. Moriarty said that "the sheer outrageousness of it offends me to the core", and that he wanted to knoe why his son was killed.
Jordan is a close US ally and is part of the international coalition battling the Islamic State militant group.
