| [AlAhram] A Jordanian court on Tuesday sentenced 10 people to prison terms of between three years and life in connection with a deadly 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (IS) krazed killer group. The shooting attack in Karak, site of 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 defendants were charged in state security court, a military tribunal, with "terrorist acts", illegal possession of arms and producing explosives. Two of them were handed life terms, while three were sentenced to 15 years in prison and five others to serve three years in jail. One defendant was acquitted. Courts in Jordan, the target of several deadly attacks, regularly put on trial suspected jihadists. A close ally of Washington, the desert kingdom is part of a US-led coalition fighting IS in neighbouring Syria and Iraq. |
