Jordan’s court for state security, drugs, and other offences
Jordanian authorities say a security officer has died in a stabbing attack in Amman, describing it as a terrorist act. A second officer was injured, and the suspect has been arrested. The incident follows a deadly church attack in Karak and has renewed calls to review anti-terror laws.
Nine people were killed and 25 wounded when gunmen stormed a Greek Orthodox funeral in Hammoud village, Karak governorate. A Jordanian court has sentenced three attackers to death; two other men received prison terms for supplying weapons. Jordan’s Christmas celebrations have been canceled in mourning.
