The half-brother of Jordan's King Abdullah will not face trial after recent accusations of sedition, the country's prime minister told a closed session of parliament on Monday.
Lawmakers who attended the meeting quoted Prime Minister Bisher al-Khasawneh as saying that the dispute had been solved within the family, while denying there had been an "attempted coup". They instead said that the premier "spoke of a bid to destabilise security and stability".
