Majali, a former police chief who had headed the ministry since 2013, tendered his resignation to King Abdullah II who accepted it, a statement from Prime Minister Abdullah Nsur said. A Jordanian official told AFP that police chief Tawfik al-Tawabla and the head of the gendarmerie, Ahmed al-Swelmin, were also sent into early retirement. Last week security forces moved in to quell unrest in Maan, where residents accused them of an "excessive use of force" in a bid to arrest two wanted men.
