	Abdullah I of Jordan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Abdullah, alone among the Arab leaders of his generation, was a moderate with a modestly pro-Western outlook.
		Abdullah was in Jerusalem to give a eulogy at the funeral and was shot while attending Friday prayers at the Dome of the Rock in the company of his grandson, Prince Hussein.
		Abdullah was succeeded by his son Talal; however, since Talal was mentally ill, Talal's son – the aforementioned Prince Hussein – became the effective ruler as King Hussein at the age of seventeen.

	Abdullah II of Jordan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		King Abdullah II bin al-Hussein (Arabic: عبد الله الثاني بن الحسين) (born January 30, 1962), is the current King of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
		Abdullah is married to a Kuwait-born, Jordan-bred Palestinian, Rania Al-Yassin (now Queen Rania al-Abdullah), who is renowned for her philanthropic work out but has seen her popularity dive within the Kingdom amidst rumours of cronyism and nepotism.
		Abdullah's mother, Antoinette Avril Gardiner (commonly referred to as Toni Avril Gardiner), was British by birth, whereas the Jordanian Constitution stipulated that the King should be of an Arab mother and father — hence Abdullah was technically disqualified by the Constitution from taking the throne.

	Al Qaeda warning by king of Jordan / Abdullah says his forces thwarted major bomb plot
		Jordan's King Abdullah II, asserting that Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda terrorist network is "still very, very effective," said Friday that his security services had foiled a plot to blow up major government buildings and perhaps the U.S. Embassy in Amman.
		Jordan is heavily dependent on U.S. aid, yet 60 percent of its population is Palestinian, and anti-American attitudes are widespread.
		Abdullah sharply criticized the "de-Baathification" campaign in Iraq, saying the decision by U.S. and Iraqi authorities to disband the 500,000-man Iraqi Army and to ban tens of thousands of members of the former ruling Baath Party from government jobs was counterproductive.

		Jordan is also working with the United States, Russia, Europe and the United Nations to craft a road map and timetable for a permanent, sustainable end to the conflict.
