Algeria and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq have condemned the terrorist attack on the Hamoud church in Jordan's Karak area in the strongest terms. The assault on the place of worship drew responses from far beyond Jordan's borders within hours. Algeria issued a statement expressing its full solidarity and deep sympathy with Jordan. The language used framed the crime as an attack that wounds everyone, not a single community. The Kurdistan Region put out its own condemnation on similar lines. Karak sits in southern Jordan, an area home to long-established Christian communities and historic churches. Both statements landed in a region where attacks on worshippers are treated with particular alarm.
