Jordan's King Abdullah Dissolves Parliament Ahead of Elections
(Reuters) Jordan's King Abdullah on Thursday dissolved the country's parliament to pave the way for elections expected early next year. The announcement was made on the eve of a rally on Friday organized by the main Islamist opposition, the Muslim Brotherhood. The Islamic Action Front (IAF), the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, is threatening to boycott the elections unless its demands for wider representation are met.
