Jordan Arrests Former Top Palace Aide in Security Clampdown

[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] Jordanian security forces arrested a former adviser to King Abdullah, a member of the royal family and others on "security related" grounds, the Petra state news agency said.
... and if you can't believe the state news agency who can you believe?
US-educated Bassem Awadallah,

... Basem Ibrahim Awadallah, former head of the royal court and former planning minister...

a long-time confidant of the king who later became minister of finance, and Sharif Hassan Ben Zaid,

... the former royal envoy to Saudi Arabia...

a member of the royal family were detained along with other unnamed figures, Petra said. It gave no details.

Arrests of brass hats and royal family members are rare in Jordan.

Awadallah was a driving force behind economic reforms before he resigned as chief of the royal court in 2008.

Al Ahram adds:

Jordanian King Abdullah's half-brother and former Crown Prince Hamza bin Hussein was asked to halt actions used to target the country's "security and stability", the military said on Saturday.

In a statement published on the state news agency, it said this was part of a broader, ongoing security investigation in which a former minister, a member of the royal family and unnamed others were detained.
