Can anyone direct me to a good source on Prince Naif bin Abdullah I, as far as I can tell, he would have assumed the Jordanian throne if his nephew, King Hussein, had been assassinated prior to the birth of King Hussein's son, Abdullah in 1962 (and would have been third in line for the throne after King Hussein's two sons (ages 8 & 6) in 1970)?
Also, any guide to who might have ended up on a committee to guide 8 year old King Abdullah if King Hussein had been assassinated on September 1, 1970? (This of course assuming that the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan survives long enough to put together that committee.) Unlike the committee that advised King Hussein before he took the throne, this one will be needed for 10 years rather than 1.
Completely destabilizing Hashemite Jordan in 1970 probably doesn't do good things for the Middle East in general, the only *winner* is probably Lebanon (without the PLO evacuating there, they'll probably stay stable longer, OTOH, Syria might end up even more powerful ITTL, which causes its own issues.)
With a POD of King Hussein being assassinated on Sept 1, 1970, does anyone have any particular suggestions for the TL?
(Note, the years and ages are in the Western Calendar, Prince Faisal was 7 in the Arabic Calendar)
