Pakistan on Saturday “strongly condemned” a terrorist attack at a church in Jordan’s Karak Governorate that killed at least seven people and injured 10 others.
In a statement, the Foreign Office expressed condolences to the government and people of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, particularly the bereaved families, and wished a speedy recovery to those injured.
Pakistan also reaffirmed its solidarity with the Jordanian people in their fight against terrorism and reiterated its strong condemnation of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.
According to Jordan’s state-owned television station Al-Mamlaka, two gunmen got out of a vehicle and opened fire during a funeral procession at Hamoud Church in Karak on Friday.
Security forces were deployed at the church and were pursuing the suspects, the broadcaster reported.
