Jordan's Prince Hamzah defiant after being put under house arrest

King Abdullah's half-brother says he will disobey the army's orders not to communicate with outside world

Jordan's estranged Prince Hamzah bin Hussein has said in a voice recording that he will disobey orders by the army not to communicate with the outside world after he was put under house arrest.

The half-brother of King Abdullah and the former heir to the throne said in the recording released on Monday by the country's opposition that he would not comply after being barred from any activities and told to keep quiet.
