Amman: officer killed in stabbing, suspect arrested
A Jordanian police officer was killed and a second injured in a stabbing attack in Amman on 5 November 2026, according to the Public Security Directorate. The suspect was arrested.
The attack took place on Al-Madina Al-Munawwara Street. Authorities say the wounded officer was hospitalised in stable condition. Reports place the incident near the Sri Lankan embassy, without establishing that the diplomatic mission was targeted.
Police described it as terrorism based on initial investigative findings. That assessment remains attributed to authorities; the reviewed sources do not establish organisational responsibility or a link to another attack.
