Iran Condemns Attacks on Jordanian Police
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s Foreign Ministry condemned the terrorist attacks in Jordan that have killed a number of police officers in recent days.
In a statement on Monday, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi offered condolences to the Jordanian government, nation and families of victims of the recent attacks on the police forces.
On Saturday, three Jordanian police officers were killed and several others injured when the security forces stormed a building outside the capital Amman in search of suspects behind an explosion that had killed a policeman a day earlier.
Government spokeswoman Jumana Ghuneimat said suspects had rigged the building with explosives and detonated them when police raided it.
Police had been chasing suspects in a bombing attack Friday in which a police officer was killed. The government has called the bombing a “terrorist attack.”
Jordan’s Interior Ministry announced that the bomb that went off late Friday was planted in an area where a police vehicle usually stops in the town of Fuheis.
