Funeral in Jordan takes place for 9 killed in church shooting

The funeral for nine of the victims killed in a bloody armed attack on a church in Jordan took place outside the Orthodox Church in Humud village on Sunday.

The attack took place 90km north of the capital Amman, killing 9 and wounding almost 40 people on October 23.

Footage broadcast on Jordanian state television showed two gunmen who appear to be holding pistols approaching the church and firing shots. A third gunman fired a semiautomatic rifle.

Jordan declared three days of national mourning. Karak is home to a minority Christian population.

There is still no claim of responsibility and no armed group has been accused of the attack that Jordan's government describes as a terrorist act.
