Jordan’s King Abdullah II to receive surgery in Germany

Jordan’s King Abdullah II is travelling to Germany Sunday for spine surgery, Jordan’s Palace declared Saturday.

King Abdullah II, 60, will undergo surgery to treat “a herniated disc in the thoracic spine” at a hospital in Frankfurt next week and will return home after a recovery period of one week.

The statement from the Arab kingdom’s Royal Hashemite Court said the king suffers from intermittent spine pain “as a result of parachute jumping during his years of service in special operations,” and doctors advised him to receive the surgery as the pain increased recently.
