Support for King Abdulla comes as former Crown Prince Hamzah bin Hussein says he is under house arrest.
Jordan’s security forces have arrested several high profile figures as part of a continuing security investigation, and warned former Crown Prince Hamzah bin Al Hussein against actions targeting the kingdom’s stability. Those detained included a former minister and a member of the royal family, a senior military official told the Petra news agency on Saturday. The official denied that Prince Hamzah, the half-brother of Jordan’s King Abdullah II, had been detained. But in a video recording, the former crown prince said he was under house arrest and had been told to stay at home and not contact anyone.More Related News
