It is not clear who was behind the attack, which was launched from Syrian territory, close to a refugee camp. The Jordanian government said no new refugee camps would be built and none would be expanded. Dozens of people have taken part in a candlelit vigil in the capital, Amman, in memory of the victims. Tuesday's attack, the first of its kind since the conflict in Syria began in 2011, saw a truck full of explosives driven at high speed over the border from Syria and blown up beside a Jordanian military post. Azerbaijani authorities report that they have already resettled 3,000 people in the Nagorno-Karabakh town of Stepanakert. On June 10, Azerbaijani President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev will leave for Turkey on a working visit.
