NSTworld: “Around noon, a man attacked tourists, a tour guide and a security officer who tried to stop him in Jerash.”

Four tourists – three Mexicans and a Swiss woman – were wounded in the knife attack, along with a Jordanian tour guide and a security officer, public security directorate spokesman Amer Sartawi told AFP.

He did not specify the nationality of the attacker or give details on the severity of the wounds. The attacker’s motivation is so far unknown, he added.In Dec 2016, in Karak, home to one of the region’s biggest Crusader castles, 10 people were killed in an attack that also left 30 wounded.
