The half-brother of Jordan's King Abdullah says he has been placed under house arrest by Jordanian authorities, accusing the country's leadership of corruption and incompetence. In a videotaped statement leaked to the British Broadcasting Corp., Prince Hamzah said he was visited on early Saturday by the country's military chief and told "I was not allowed to go out, to communicate with people or to meet with them.” He said his security detail was removed, and his phone and Internet service had been cut. He said he was speaking over satellite Internet, but expected that service to be cut as well. The BBC says it received the statement from Hamzah's lawyer.More Related News
