LONDON, 14 July — The Jordanian government said yesterday that the participation of Prince Hassan, uncle of King Abdallah, in a meeting of former Iraqi Army officers and opponents of Saddam Hussein in London will not change Amman’s stand that opposes the planned US attack on Iraq, Asharq Al-Awsat reported today.
Jordan described the prince’s participation in the meeting as “a personal act.” Earlier, Prince Hassan said he was not in a position to comment on questions regarding the re-establishment of monarchy in Iraq.
“I am not a Jordanian government official,” he told reporters.
