AMMAN, April 9 (Reuters) – King Abdullah II of Jordan is due in Germany on Sunday where he will undergo surgery for a herniated disc, the palace said in a statement on Saturday.
This operation, which will be practiced in a specialized hospital in Frankfurt, will require a week of convalescence. The Jordanian sovereign, who is 60 years old, will then be able to return to the kingdom, it is specified. (Suleiman Al-Khalidi, French version Sophie Louet)
