Jordan executes six for killing officers
The Jordanian authorities carried out the executions of six convicted individuals accused of terrorist and criminal offenses, including some involved in the killing of security personnel during prior security operations, at dawn on Sunday. The sentences included the execution of defendants linked to the Salt Cell terrorist group that killed six security officers during a raid in August 2018, as well as the execution of those convicted of killing a security officer during protests over high fuel prices, and prisoners convicted of resisting security forces and opening fire on them. Executions are rare in Jordan; the last such case before this was in March 2017, and judicial sentences against terrorists have faced limited enforcement.
