Jordan’s Public Security Directorate said security forces arrested three armed suspects on 26 October in connection with the church attack in Hammoud, Karak governorate, that killed nine people. The directorate said the suspects were located in an abandoned house and wounded during an exchange of fire before their arrest.
Assessment: The arrests constitute an investigative development, not a judicial determination of guilt. The reviewed material does not establish organisational affiliation or the existence of a wider network.
