A Jordanian court has sentenced a man to death for an attack on an anti-drug police unit that killed three officers. The attack targeted members of Jordan's specialized narcotics enforcement team, which operates in a region where drug trafficking has become an increasingly serious security concern. Jordan has been grappling with rising drug-related violence as traffickers attempt to use the kingdom as a transit route for narcotics, particularly the amphetamine Captagon, destined for Gulf markets.
