QuoteTHE KING of Jordan has arrested his own brothers and cousin for suspected cooperation with Saudi Arabia, regional media has reported.
Jordan, which is usually seen as being a neutral state in the Middle East, is reported to have detained the three men at their homes after the individuals allegedly spoke to Saudi and Emirati leaders.
Tensions across the region have risen in recent months with countries showing scepticism towards the aims of Saudi Arabia?s new Crown Prince, Mohammad bin Salman.
Regional news site Al-sura reported that King Abdullah arrested his brothers and cousin, Prince Faisal bin Hussein, Prince Ali bin Hussein and Prince Talal bin Muhammad after his intelligence services claimed they had been in contact with Saudi and Emirati leaders.
The ME has gone crazy.
The Royal Hashemite Court a statement today regarding the rumors involving HM's brothers and cousin. It warns that the court will pursue legal action against those spreading rumors.

The Royal Hashemite Court on Saturday released the following statement:
?Rumours and misleading claims have been circulated over the past few days by a number of online outlets and social media websites, spreading lies about Their Royal Highnesses Prince Feisal bin Al Hussein, Prince Ali bin Al Hussein, and Prince Talal bin Muhammed.
The Royal Hashemite Court will pursue legal measures against those who spread lies and false claims against Their Royal Highnesses the Princes and members of the Royal Hashemite Family, as the fabricated news circulated recently is aimed at undermining Jordan and its institutions.
Our loyal people do not fall for such lies, which can never damage Jordan?s national unity and the deep-rooted relationship between Jordanians and the Royal Hashemite Family.
His Majesty King Abdullah, the Supreme Commander of the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF), had sent Their Royal Highnesses letters in appreciation of their service after they were referred to retirement from the JAF.
Their Royal Highnesses had been exemplary officers of the Arab Army, loyal to Jordan and the Hashemite Throne.?
That statement sounds like standard procedure for an Institution denying what they are actually doing.
