(CNN)A member of the Jordanian royal family and the former head of the royal court were arrested on Saturday due to "security reasons," according to Jordan's state news agency Petra, and the country's former crown prince claimed he has been told not to leave his home.
Petra did not offer additional details on the arrests of royal family member Hassan bin Zaid and the former head of the royal court, Basem Awadallah, saying that an investigation is underway. Zaid is a distant cousin of King Abdullah II. His brother was Ali bin Zaid, an intelligence officer killed along with seven CIA operatives in 2010 in a suicide bombing in Khost, Afghanistan. Former Crown Prince Hamzah bin Hussein, the half-brother of King Abdullah II, claimed in a video statement obtained by the BBC that he has been put in isolation, his communication has been cut off, and has been told by the military that he shouldn't leave, suggesting he has been put under house arrest
