The Kurdistan Regional Government condemns in the strongest terms the terrorist attack on a church in the province of Karak in the friendly Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, which resulted in the death and injury of several civilian citizens. At the same time, the Regional Government expresses its deep concern and sorrow over this criminal act, which constitutes a blatant violation of human values and principles that guarantee freedom of worship, the protection of religious sites and the lives of civilian citizens.
