The U.S. Embassy in Amman said that security measures have been tightened at shopping malls, foreign embassies, and other sites in Jordan following Friday’s attack on a church in Karak Governorate.
The Director of Public Security said seven people were killed and dozens injured when gunmen opened fire during a funeral service at the church.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far.
Authorities are still searching for the attackers, whom they described as “extremists,” adding that it is too early to determine whether they have ties to known groups inside or outside Jordan.
