Jordan’s State Security Court on Sunday sentenced three men to death after convicting them of carrying out an armed attack last month on a church in the Karak Governorate.

The court convicted the three of carrying out terrorist acts that killed nine people, the state-run Petra News Agency reported.

They were also convicted of conspiracy to commit terrorist acts using weapons and promoting the ideology of a terrorist group, the agency said, adding that one of them was also convicted of providing funds to finance terrorist acts.

The attack took place on Oct. 23 during a funeral service inside the church in Karak, western Jordan, killing nine people and wounding 34 others.

Jordan’s Public Security Directorate said on Oct. 26 that the three attackers had been arrested following joint search operations.

The directorate said security forces had located the attackers inside an abandoned house in Karak, where they refused to surrender and opened fire.

The operation ended with their arrest, with all three wounded. Firearms and ammunition were seized from them, and no members of the security forces were injured. (Anadolu Agency, excluding headline)
