  "account": "A Jordanian security officer was killed and another wounded in a stabbing attack in Amman on Thursday, according to the country's Public Security Directorate. The attacker, who was planning a terrorist assault on public security personnel, was subsequently apprehended near the Sri Lankan embassy. Initial investigations suggest the motive was to carry out a terrorist attack against security forces. Just two weeks prior, on October 23, gunmen opened fire during a funeral at a church in Jordan's Karak governorate, resulting in nine deaths and 40 injuries, a rare attack on the nation's Christian minority. The connection between the two incidents remains unclear. Jordanian King Abdullah expressed on Monday, following the church attack that prompted retaliatory strikes in Syria, that terrorists would not be permitted to jeopardize the country's unity and security.",
  "summary": "Preliminary investigations indicated that the attacker had intended and planned to carry out a \"terrorist attack\" against public security personnel, the directorate said.",
