Jordan sentences 2 to death for IS-claimed attack on crusader castle
[IsraelTimes] A Jordanian court sentences two brothers to death on Sunday in connection with a 2016 attack claimed by the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
jihadist group, overturning a life sentence handed to the men last year.

The shooting attack in Karak, home to one of the region’s largest Crusader castles, killed seven coppers and two Jordanian civilians as well as a female Canadian tourist, and maimed 34 other people.

The head of the kingdom’s state security court, a military tribunal, orders Khalid al-Majali and Hamza al-Majali to be "hanged to death."

Jordan’s cassation court, the kingdom’s highest judicial body, reverses a November ruling which sentenced the two to life behind bars.

"The actions of the defendants caused chaos, panic and horror among Jordanians and foreign tourists and threatened the country’s security and stability," a judicial source tells AFP.
