Jordan's State Security Court sentenced 3 terrorists to death by hanging for the October 23 attack on the Greek Orthodox Church of St. George in Hamud, Karak Governorate, in which 9 people were killed and 34 injured during a funeral procession.
Two other defendants received prison terms of 6 years for supplying weapons used in the attack.
The 3 terrorists were arrested on October 26 following a shootout with the security forces. Jordan then launched airstrikes against terrorist groups in southern Syria, killing 7 people, including civilians. Amman later acknowledged civilian casualties and agreed with Damascus to investigate the attacks.
