Jordan sentences three to death over church attack

Jordan’s State Security Court sentenced three men to death by hanging for a terrorist attack on October 23 at St. George’s Greek Orthodox Church in Hmoud, where gunmen opened fire during a funeral, killing nine people and injuring others. The court convicted the men of terrorism-related offenses, including attacks resulting in deaths and weapons offenses. The ruling is subject to appeal and automatic review by Jordan’s Court of Cassation.
