Jordan's Cabinet gets reshuffled amid PM scandal
None
Jordan's King Abdullah II endorsed a Cabinet reshuffle on Saturday in the wake of scandals and resignations that have tainted the country's prime minister and ignited calls for his resignation.
The move follows six months of street protests in Jordan - inspired by uprisings elsewhere in the Arab world - that have pressed for a wider public say in politics, the lowering of food prices and reduction of inflation rates. The most significant official to go as part of the reshuffle was Interior Minister Saad Hayel Srour. He was replaced by Mazen Saket, seen as a moderate politician who may be more palatable to the public. (AP)
