Jordan arrests three suspects after deadly church attack

Jordanian security forces arrested three suspects on Monday after a shootout at an abandoned house in Karak, authorities said, days after a deadly attack on a church funeral in the southern governorate. The Public Security Directorate said the suspects were found inside the house, refused to surrender and opened fire on security forces. Officers returned fire, wounded all three and took them into custody. The directorate said no security personnel were injured and firearms and ammunition were found at the site. Its account was carried by state media. The suspects were accused of taking part in Friday’s shooting at a Greek Orthodox church in Hamoud village, where gunmen opened fire on mourners attending a funeral. The reported death toll differs: several accounts put it at nine, while another gave eight. Injury totals also vary, with reports ranging from 34 to 40. The available figures do not establish a definitive final count. The Public Security Directorate did not identify the suspects’ affiliations. Authorities had not determined whether they were linked to known groups, and no responsibility claim had been confirmed, according to one account of the directorate’s statement....
