Jordanian security forces have arrested three men in connection with a terrorist attack on a Greek Orthodox church in the village of Hammoud, Karak province, which killed nine people. The suspects were detained Monday, according to local media. The attack, which occurred earlier this week, targeted the church and resulted in multiple casualties.
The victims were laid to rest on Sunday as thousands attended their funerals. Jordanians gathered near the church, expressing national unity in the face of terrorism. The coffins, draped in Jordanian flags, were carried by Public Security Directorate personnel before the victims were buried. The funerals took place amid an outpouring of grief and solidarity.
This attack marks a significant escalation in the security situation in Jordan. The church, located in a rural area, was the site of a coordinated assault that left nine people dead and over two dozen injured. The suspects are believed to be linked to extremist groups operating in the region. The government has vowed to intensify security measures and investigate the incident thoroughly. The attack has raised concerns about the growing threat of terrorism in the area. The arrests are part of ongoing efforts to combat such violence.
