Jordan Police Accused of Death.

Five Jordanian police officers will face trial after a man died on Sunday of injuries allegedly sustained while in their custody, officials said.

The Minister of State for Information Affairs, Nabil Sharif, said the case should be referred to the judiciary. The family of the victim have accused the police of torturing him following his arrest in Amman last month.

The friends and relatives of the victim, who is 20 years, clashed with the police in the east of the capital after he was buried on Monday. The police had to use tear gas to disperse the crowd.

Rebels in northern Yemen have said they shot down Yemeni fighter jet that was attacking their stronghold on Sunday.

It was a third Yemeni plane to crash since the last fighting between the army and the rebels, known as the Houthis, began four months ago.

Earlier, Saudi Arabia said it had regained control of the area seized by the rebels in an incursion last week. The Yemeni President has said the war will continue no matter how much money or martyrs it will cost to fight against the rebels.
