Thousands mourn victims of deadly Jordan church attack

Thousands gathered on Sunday for the funerals of eight victims of Friday’s shooting during a funeral at St George’s Greek Orthodox Church in Hamoud, southern Jordan. Prime Minister Jafar Hassan attended alongside ministers and senior military and civilian officials. The attack killed nine people and wounded dozens; the ninth victim, Mohammed al-Qasous, is due to be buried on Monday. Sahar al-Halsa recounted finding her wounded cousin Assem, who later died, while Father Yohanna Hamati said 170 to 200 people were at the church when the gunfire began.
