Accra:Jordanian Joint security units and specialized commando teams captured three terrorists linked to an attack on a church in Hmoud village, Karak Governorate. The operation took place early Monday morning, following a relentless manhunt.
According to Palestine news & Information Agency – WAFA – English, the Jordanian Public Security Directorate (PSD) revealed that continuous search and tracking operations allowed intelligence teams to locate the suspects in an abandoned house in Karak Governorate.
