Security Officer Killed in Amman Stabbing Attack A Jordanian security officer was killed on Thursday during a stabbing attack in the capital, Amman. The Public Security Directorate confirmed the death, labeling the incident a "cowardly terrorist attack." According to state-run Al-Mamlaka TV, the assailant attempted to seize the weapon of the officer, who was fatally wounded during the struggle. A second security officer intervened to stop the attacker; both the assailant and the second officer sustained injuries during the confrontation. Authorities have since arrested the suspect. Preliminary investigations suggest the attacker had been planning to target members of the General Security Directorate. The incident occurred in the vicinity of the Sri Lankan Embassy in Amman, according to reports from the Associated Press. The attack follows a period of heightened security concerns in Jordan. Just weeks ago, a shooting at a church funeral in the country's south resulted in nine deaths and dozens of injuries. While authorities are investigating the circumstances of Thursday's stabbing, it remains unclear if the incident is linked to the previous church attack.
