约旦官方媒体报道，约旦安全部队周一凌晨逮捕了三名男子，他们被控于上周在约旦南部一座教堂的葬礼上发动袭击，造成九人死亡。
Jordan Arrests 3 in Connection With Church Attack, State Media Reports Nine people were killed and dozens were wounded in the attack last week on a Greek Orthodox Church in southern Jordan.
据约旦国家通讯社佩特拉报道，安全和突击部队在黎明前对这三名嫌疑人在卡拉克一处废弃房屋中的藏身点发动突袭，将其抓获。卡拉克正是上周希腊东正教教堂袭击事件发生的南部省份。
Jordanian security forces arrested three men early Monday accused of carrying out an attack last week during a funeral at a church in southern Jordan that killed nine people, according to state media. Security and commando forces captured the three suspects during a predawn raid on their hide-out in an abandoned house in Karak, the same southern province where the attack on a Greek Orthodox Church took place, according to Petra, the Jordanian state media service.
佩特拉称，嫌疑人拒绝投降并开枪，安全部队随即还击，击伤并解除了三人的武装，随后将其拘留。
It said the suspects refused orders to surrender and opened fire, so the security forces responded in kind — wounding and disarming the three men before taking them into custody.
佩特拉报道称，突袭中没有安全人员受伤，并在藏身点内发现了枪支和弹药。嫌疑人身份尚未公布，当局也未透露他们将面临何种指控的细节。
No security personnel were injured in the raid, Petra reported, adding that guns and ammunition were found inside the hide-out. The suspects were not identified, and the authorities have not released details about what charges they will face.
这起发生在约旦南部哈穆德村的枪击事件是该国多年来最致命的袭击之一。
The shooting in the village of Hamoud in southern Jordan was one of the deadliest attacks in the country in years.
官员尚未说明这起被其称为恐怖袭击的致命攻击的具体动机。首相贾法尔·哈桑在周五的新闻发布会上表示，这是“恐怖主义塔克菲里意识形态的结果”——这是一个阿拉伯语术语，通常用来指称宣布其他穆斯林为异端的伊斯兰极端分子。
Officials have not said exactly what motivated the deadly assault, which they called a terrorist attack. Prime Minister Jafar Hassan said at a news conference on Friday that it was “the result of terrorist takfiri ideology,” an Arabic term commonly used to describe Islamist extremists who declare other Muslims heretics.
内政大臣马赞·法亚拉周一在社交媒体上写道：“我们已抓获凶手，正在审查导致青年走向极端主义的每一个因素，任何被证实参与其中的人都将被追究责任。”
“We have apprehended the killers, we are examining every factor that leads youth toward extremism, and we will hold accountable anyone proven to have been involved,” Interior Minister Mazen Al-Faraya wrote on social media on Monday.
周五的袭击还造成近36人受伤，在约旦全国引发广泛谴责。官员誓言此事不会分裂约旦人民，也不会威胁国家稳定。
The attack on Friday, which also injured nearly three dozen people, was met with widespread condemnation across Jordan. Officials vowed it would not divide Jordanians or threaten national stability.
国王阿卜杜拉二世在位超过二十五年，经历了该地区的多次动荡。他周五表示，袭击者将遭到“最严厉的报复”。虽然基督徒仅占约旦人口的约2%，但该国拥有一些最重要的圣经和基督教朝圣地，包括据称耶稣受洗的地点。约旦基督徒在议会中拥有保障席位，长期以来一直担任内阁部长和大使。
King Abdullah II, who has ruled the kingdom through more than a quarter-century of regional upheaval, said on Friday that the attackers would be met with “the harshest retaliation.”While Christians make up only about 2 percent of Jordan’s population, the country is home to some of the most important biblical and Christian pilgrimage sites, including what is said to be the location where Jesus was baptized. Christian Jordanians are guaranteed seats in Parliament and have long served as cabinet ministers and ambassadors.
卡拉克的基督教存在可追溯至1500多年前，当时东罗马帝国统治着中东的这一部分地区。
The Christian presence in Karak dates back more than 1,500 years, to a time when the Eastern Roman Empire ruled that part of the Middle East.
约旦是美国的重要盟友，基本上避开了令许多邻国陷入动荡的暴力冲突，尽管过去十年来它曾遭遇零星的武装分子袭击。2016年，伊斯兰国武装分子在卡拉克市及其周边地区的一场枪击暴行中杀害了10人，随后躲入当地一座中世纪城堡。
Jordan, a close U.S. ally, has largely avoided the violence that has destabilized many of its neighbors, though it has faced sporadic militant attacks over the past decade. In 2016, Islamic State militants killed 10 people in a shooting rampage in and around the city of Karak before taking shelter in a medieval castle there.
