Government backers attack Jordan protest; 6 hurt

None

Pro-government supporters have attacked a gathering of Jordanian protesters demanding the dissolution of parliament and the firing of the country's prime minister, pelting them with stones and injuring six people.

 

The violence Friday came as about 1,000 Jordanians joined protests at the camp in central Amman, styled after Cairo's Liberation Square, where a popular uprising led to the ouster of Egypt's longtime president. (AP)
