Jordanians gather in Karak to bury church attack victims

Thousands of Jordanians gathered in the village of Hamoud in the Karak governorate, in southern Jordan, to bury victims of an armed attack on a Greek Orthodox church there on Friday, BBC Arabic reported. Mourners attended funerals for those killed in the assault, which struck the church in Karak.

The report did not give a death toll, name the victims or say whether anyone had been detained over the attack. It also did not describe the circumstances of the assault or identify a motive, leaving open questions about how the attack was carried out and what response authorities plan.
