Reply #2: The Guardian: Jordan denies reports about attack on King Abdullah [View All]

Nervousness about the spread of "Arab spring" protests hit Jordan on Monday when the government moved to quash reports that demonstrators had attacked King Abdullah's motorcade.

Jordanian and western media quoted eyewitness accounts of vehicles in the royal convoy being hit twice by stones and bottles during a visit to the southern town of Tafila, scene of demonstrations demanding the resignation of the government because of its failure to introduce reforms and fight corruption.
