Jordanian security forces say they have arrested three men in connection with an attack on a Greek Orthodox church that killed nine people and wounded more than two dozen, ABC News reported.
CBS News reported that Jordan says its security forces arrested the three men on Monday for the attack. Its account, like that of ABC News, said the attack killed nine people and wounded more than two dozen. The report appeared in CBS News coverage of the arrests.
The New York Times, citing state media, reported that three people had been arrested in connection with the attack. The New York Times said the attack took place last week on a Greek Orthodox church in southern Jordan, that nine people were killed, and that dozens were wounded.
The sources differ on who made the announcement. ABC News and CBS News attributed the arrests to Jordan's security forces, while The New York Times attributed its report to state media. The Times described the wounded as dozens, while ABC News and CBS News put the figure at more than two dozen. The three accounts do not conflict on the number of dead.
None of the three reports, from ABC News, CBS News and The New York Times, named the suspects, described a motive, or said what charges the men face. The reports available for this story did not say whether further arrests have been made.
