A Muslim gunman on Sunday killed prominent Jordanian Christian writer Nahed Hattar outside a court where he was facing charges for sharing a cartoon deemed offensive to Islam.
Hattar was struck by three bullets before the assailant was arrested, said Petra. Witnesses told AFP that a man had opened fire in front of the court in Amman’s Abdali district.
The 56-year-old Christian was arrested on August 13 after posting a cartoon mocking jihadists on his Facebook account. He was charged with inciting sectarian strife and insulting Islam before being released on bail in early September.
