Refugees riot in Jordan camp; 3 hurt

AMMAN, Jordan: A Jordanian official says a nighttime riot at a Syrian refugee camp close to the Jordan-Syria border has left two Syrian refugees and a Jordanian policeman hurt.
Anmar Hmoud, says the rioting in Zaatari camp started late Sunday and stretched into the early hours of Monday. He says it was sparked by false rumors that Jordanian policemen had sexually harassed three female refugees.
Hmoud says about 300 angry Syrian refugees attacked a police post at the camp’s entrance, prompting policemen to fire tear gas at the crowd.
