AMMAN- Jordan's King Abdullah and former crown prince and half borther Prince Hamza on Sunday made their first joint appearance since a rift shook the country, attending a ceremony marking 100 years of independence.

State media showed the monarch and other members of the royal family laying wreaths at the unknown soldier's memorial.
