  "account": "Three men were sentenced to death in Jordan on Sunday for a terror attack that claimed nine lives in the southern city of Karak, according to state news agency Petra. The court found the men guilty of terrorist acts leading to death, possession of weapons for terrorist purposes, and promoting a terrorist ideology. The ruling can be appealed and will be reviewed by the Court of Cassation. The attack took place during a funeral at a Greek Orthodox church in the village of Hamoud on October 23, resulting in 34 injuries. Security forces apprehended the three men the following day following a shootout in an abandoned house in Karak, with all three sustaining injuries. Jordan retaliated by launching airstrikes in southern Syria against groups associated with the church attack, causing civilian casualties that were later acknowledged by both nations. They have since established a joint security committee to investigate the incident and its ramifications.",
  "summary": "The court convicted the men of offenses including carrying out terrorist acts resulting in death, possessing weapons and ammunition for terrorist purposes, and promoting at terror group's ideology.",
