Ammon News - An officer was wounded Monday after a Royal Badia Police patrol came under fire while dismantling illegally erected structures at the Wadi Rum Tourist Reserve.

"A security force of the Royal Badia (desert) Police Command carried out this morning an order to remove structures intruding into the Rum Tourist Reserve, and was confronted by a number of persons who fired shots from their vehicles", according to the Public Security Directorate's media spokesman.

He said an officer was wounded and rushed to a local hospital, where he remained under treatment, adding that an investigation into the incident is underway.

The spokesman said the removal order came after trespassers ignored warnings and deadlines to correct their status.
