A security officer was killed in a stabbing attack in Amman, Jordan's capital, Al Jazeera reports. Officials have provided limited information about the circumstances of the attack or the identity of the victim.
State authorities have not yet released a detailed account of what happened or indicated whether a suspect has been detained. Local media coverage and official channels provided only brief initial reports, and an investigation is underway to establish the facts.
Jordanian security services typically follow such incidents with inquiries and public statements as investigations progress; at this stage no group has claimed responsibility and there has been no indication of motive. Further details — including the precise location in Amman and whether other people were injured — have not been made public.
This remains a developing story. Al Jazeera and other outlets say they will update their reporting as more information becomes available from Jordanian authorities and local sources.
