According to Jordan’s public safety agency, the attack occurred during a mortary ceremony at the Greek Orthodox Church of St George, in the town of Hmood, a majority Christian area.
Authorities have announced that persons suspected of the attack have not yet been identified and that security forces have been placed in their search.
Witnesses have claimed that the shooting lasted several minutes. According to them, one of the attackers allegedly was armed with an AK-47-type automatic rifle.
