Jordan security officer killed near Sri Lanka embassy

Less than two ⁠weeks earlier, on ‌October ​23, gunmen opened fire during a funeral at ​a church ‌in Jordan's Karak governorate, killing nine people ​and wounding 40 in a rare attack on the country's Christian minority.

It ​was ​not immediately clear ​if the stabbing was related ‌to the church attack.

Jordan's King Abdullah said on Monday that terrorists would not be allowed to threaten the country's unity and ​security after the deadly church attack prompted ​Jordanian strikes ⁠in Syria.
