(MENAFN- Jordan Times) His Majesty King Abdullah on Wednesday described the suicide attack that killed top Syrian defence officials as a "tremendous blow" to the regime, but warned against jumping to conclusions, a Royal Court statement said.
In an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, host of the network's "The Situation Room" show, the King said the attack certainly shows "cracks" in the regime, but added: "I don't think we should jump to any conclusions"."
Commenting on the accelerating developments in the northern neighbour, His Majesty said in the interview, which will be broadcast Thursday: "All of us in the international community have been reaching out to the Syrian regime to make a move on political transition."
"But on the ground, we haven't seen much for it. So, unfortunately, there's the status quo. And as a result, we're seeing as we've been seeing, continued violence."
The King also answered questions on a host of other issues, including the Mideast peace process and political changes in the region.
