Jordan's king has addressed the public feud with his half-brother, Prince Hamzah, portraying it as an attempted "sedition" that caused him shock, anger and pain.
Wednesday's statement, carried by Jordan TV, marked the first time King Abdullah II addressed the unprecedented rift in the royal family which erupted over the weekend.
"I speak to you today as my family and tribesmen ... to reassure you that the sedition has been buried," the statement said.
