Preliminary investigations indicated that the attacker had intended and planned to carry out a "terrorist attack" against public security personnel, the directorate said.
Less than two weeks earlier, on October 23, gunmen opened fire during a funeral at a church in Jordan's Karak governorate, killing nine people and wounding 40 in a rare attack on the country's Christian minority.
It was not immediately clear if the stabbing was related to the church attack.
