Jordan s King Abdullah II: Western ally in turbulent region AFP 1 hr ago AFP © - Jordanian King Abdullah II at the House of Representatives in the capital Amman on March 23
Jordan s King Abdullah II is a key Western ally who has made the stability of his country in the restive Middle East a top priority.
In recent days, that image of stability has taken a hit, amid a palace rift in which his younger half-brother Prince Hamzah is accused of plotting against him.
Abdullah, 59, is a British-educated former special forces commander who swapped his military helmet for the crown more than two decades ago.
