Ammon News - The State Security Court is expected to deliver its verdict on Sunday, in the case involving the terrorist attack on St. George's Church in the town of Humud, Karak Governorate, which claimed the lives of nine people, according to Amer Halsa, the lawyer representing the victims' families.

The State Security Court held its third hearing in the terrorism case last Wednesday.

Lawyer Amer Halsa said the court is expected to issue its ruling in the Karak terrorist attack case on Sunday, November 15.

He added that during the previous hearing, several prosecution witnesses were heard and questioned regarding their statements, while the public prosecutor presented his closing arguments.

The Public Prosecution had charged the seven defendants with seven offenses, most notably carrying out terrorist acts resulting in the death of a person in complicity, repeated nine times; carrying out terrorist acts using firearms and ammunition in complicity, repeated twice; and possessing firearms and ammunition with the intent of using them in terrorist acts.

The charges also included conspiracy to commit terrorist acts using weapons, promoting the ideology of a terrorist group, and committing acts that could undermine public order and endanger the safety and security of society.

The case was subsequently referred to the State Security Court to begin trial proceedings.
