Voice of America
AMMAN, JORDAN - Jordan's former Crown Prince Hamzah bin al-Hussein said in a video recording Saturday that he was under house arrest and had been told not to contact anyone.
Hamzah issued the recording after the country's military had told him to halt actions used to target the country's "stability and security." Army chief Yousef Huneiti did not specify what such actions were and denied reports that Hamzah had been arrested. Hamzah said in the video, passed by his lawyer to the BBC, that he was not part of any foreign conspiracy and denounced the ruling system as corrupt. "It's a very sad and unfortunate turn," he added.A TV screen shows a file image of North Korea's rocket launch during a news program at a bus terminal in Seoul, South Korea, May 27, 2024.
