Jordan's King Abdullah II on Tuesday ordered his government to coordinate with Iraq an airlift of people wounded in Sunday's attack on a Baghdad church so they can receive treatment in Amman, according to an official statement, dpa reported.
"Jordan has already notified the Iraqi government of its full readiness to receive and hospitalize victims of the terrorist attack," the statement said.
At least 58 people were killed and 78 wounded after militants seized a Baghdad church during evening mass and held the congregation hostage, triggering a raid by Iraqi security forces.
In a message to Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, King Abdullah condemned the attack as an "act of terrorism" and expressed Jordan's backing for Baghdad in their endeavours to combat terrorism.
