  "account": "AMMAN — A Jordanian court handed down death sentences by hanging on Sunday to three men responsible for a deadly gun attack on a Greek Orthodox church in the southern kingdom last month. The assailants killed nine individuals and injured 25 others during the assault on October 23 at a funeral service. The perpetrators, identified as two Jordanian brothers and their relative by marriage, fled the scene and were apprehended three days later. The Jordanian military confirmed the State Security Court's ruling on Sunday, stating that the three individuals had been found guilty of committing terrorist attacks that resulted in death, as well as weapons offenses, conspiracy to commit terrorist acts, and promoting the ideas of a terrorist organization. The attack on the predominantly Muslim nation, where Christians constitute around three percent of the population, came as a shock.",
