DUBAI, United Arab Emirates—The shooter in last week’s killing of five U.S. servicemen in Tennessee transited through Qatar on his way back from a 2014 visit to Jordan but never set foot outside the airport, authorities in the Gulf nation said Tuesday as they condemned the deadly attack.

Meanwhile, U.S. and Jordanian officials are examining Kuwait-born Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez’s trip to Jordan, looking for clues into what might have prompted him to open fire at a military recruiting office and a Navy-Marine operations center in Chattanooga on Thursday, killing four Marines and one sailor.
