AMMAN, Jordan (Radio. Nc
King Hussein l has deplored the
attack made on a group of Chris
tian Boy Scouts during his corona
ton.
In a telegram to the heads of the
Christian communities here, the
18-year-old King stated he consid-
cred the attacks "as treason.
They were allegedly made by mem
bers of the MosIem brotherhood.
"His Majesty has ordered the
authorities concerned to take the
most severe action against the per-
petrators," the telegram said. "lt
is clear that such acts we're either
the result of ignorance or the work
of enemy agents"
Meanwhile the newly appointed
Premier, Fawzi Mulqi, received the
heads of the Christian bodies at
his office and expressed regret
over the incident.
Christians here generally expect
TO receive considerate treatment
from the new King, who is Mos
lem. The Christian clergymen had
special places of honor reserved
for them at the solemn oath-taAng
ceremony by the king and also at
the reception at the palace later.
