Jordan accuses Prince Hamzah of plot to destabilise kingdom
Published2 minutes ago
The former crown prince of Jordan is accused of trying to mobilise tribal leaders against the government, the country's deputy prime minister says.
Prince Hamzah bin Hussein worked with "foreign entities" to destabilise the state, Ayman Safadi said.
The prince had earlier released two videos to the BBC, claiming he was being held under house arrest.
He denied conspiracy, but accused Jordan's leaders of corruption and incompetence.
Sixteen people, including a former adviser to King Abdullah and another member of the royal family, were arrested on Saturday, apparently in connection to an alleged coup plot.
In his videos, Prince Hamzah, the king's half-brother, said he had been told he could not go out or communicate with people.
The move is thought to follow a visit by the prince to tribal leaders, where he is said to have garnered some support.
