One person has been killed ⁠and another wounded in a ‌stabbing attack in Jordan’s capital, Amman. Jordan’s Public Security Directorate said that a member of its forces was assaulted with a sharp object and died “in a cowardly terrorist attack” on Thursday. Jordan’s state-run Al-Mamlaka TV reported that the assailant attempted to seize the weapon of the security officer who was killed. A second security officer intervened to stop him, and both the assailant and the second security officer sustained injuries, Al-Mamlaka added. The Public Security Directorate said a preliminary investigation indicated the attacker had been “planning to commit the terrorist act against the officers of the General Security Directorate”.
