His Majesty King Abdullah II on Tuesday presented Public Security Department officer Captain Firas Al-Ananzeh with his new military rank, following a Royal Decree promoting him from the rank of First Lieutenant.
The King also awarded Al-Ananzeh the First-Class Medal of Bravery and Rescue in recognition of his courage and heroic actions in apprehending the perpetrator of a terrorist attack in Amman and protecting civilians.
The ceremony took place during a meeting between the King, Al-Ananzeh, and members of his family at Al Husseiniya Palace, attended by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II.
The King checked on Al-Ananzeh’s health following injuries he sustained while responding to the terrorist incident. He expressed his pride in the officer’s heroism and praised the courage demonstrated by members of Jordan’s security forces in defending the country.
King Abdullah stressed that cowardly terrorist acts would never shake Jordan as long as it had men like Al-Ananzeh and the late martyr Jawad Al-Salaytah, may God have mercy on him. He reaffirmed that the Kingdom’s security would remain protected through the dedication and efforts of its people.
