AMMAN, Jordan — Jordanian security forces arrested three men Monday for an attack on a Greek Orthodox church that killed nine people and wounded more than two dozen.
The Public Security Directorate said the three suspects were arrested following a shootout and that all three were wounded. No members of the security forces were injured in the dawn operation in Karak, south of Jordan’s capital, Amman. Karak is home to a minority Christian population.
The attack on the church in Karak took place Friday during a funeral. Three men were reported to have taken part in the attack.
