Jordan king calls for review of bill that sparked protests

AMMAN –Jordan's King Abdullah II called Tuesday for a review of a draft income tax law, after a week of anti-austerity protests and the resignation of the country's prime minister.

 
In a letter charging new premier Omar al-Razzaz with forming a government, the monarch said it "must carry out a comprehensive review of the tax system" to avoid "unjust taxes that do not achieve justice and balance between the incomes of the poor and the rich".
