Jordan on Saturday recalled its ambassador to Qatar in a diplomatic row over a program on the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera satellite channel that the government said was insulting to the royal family, the official news agency reported.  

 

Ambassador Omar Al-Amad was recalled for consultations, Petra news agency said, three days after Jordan shut down the Al-Jazeera office in Amman and revoked the credentials of its correspondents. (Albawaba.com)
