In this Wednesday, Jan. 4, 2017 photo, damage remains in the Shehab Restaurant where four Jordanian supporters of Islamic State sprayed automatic fire on Dec. 18, 2016, before continuing their rampage inside nearby Karak Castle, Jordan. The recent Islamic State shooting at Karak Castle, a popular tourism site in Jordan, could signal a more aggressive campaign by the extremist group to destabilize the pro-Western kingdom. A senior security official says members of the Karak cell, who were killed during the attack, had planned New Year’s Eve attacks in Jordan, using five explosives belts. Jordan’s government tries to allay concerns, saying its security forces can contain any threat. (AP Photo/Raad Adayleh)
