Amman Attacker Sentenced

Jordanian court documents revealed that Muhannad Mohammad Ali Hamouri, the assailant in the Amman attack that killed Corporal Jawad al-Salayta and wounded an officer, had previously been convicted of planning to target a security center in Irbid, promoting the ideas of the Islamic State group, and attempting to join it. In 2022, the State Security Court sentenced him to nine years of temporary hard labor, with the sentence counted from his detention on February 3, 2020. The Court of Cassation upheld the ruling in June of that year. The circumstances of his release from prison, and the date it took place, remain unclear. The Public Security Directorate said preliminary investigations indicate that the attack on security personnel had been planned in advance.
