  "account": "Three men were arrested by Jordanian state security forces on Monday in connection with a deadly attack on a Greek Orthodox church funeral on Friday. The attack resulted in nine deaths and around 40 injuries. The suspects were discovered hiding in an abandoned house in the Karak governorate, about 120 kilometers southwest of Amman. During a dawn shootout, all three were wounded, but no security personnel were harmed. Interior Minister Mazen Al-Faraya stated that the operation resulted in the capture of those responsible for the terrorist act. The suspects put up strong resistance but were ultimately subdued and taken into custody, sustaining severe injuries. King Abdullah II had previously ordered authorities to respond with an iron fist against anyone attempting to divide the Jordanian people. Despite the tragedy, the arrests have brought some relief to the families of the victims. No claim of responsibility has been made for the attack, and the Public Security Directorate has not publicly identified possible affiliations with any militant groups. Attacks on Christian minorities are rare in Jordan, a stable Middle Eastern nation with close ties to the United States and Israel.",
