Former U.S. President Bill Clinton and his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, will interrupt a visit to Israel to travel to Jordan on Sunday night to meet with King Abdullah, a spokesman for the senator said.
A Jordanian government spokesman confirmed the report.
Sen. Clinton's press secretary, Philippe Reines, said the Clintons were invited by King Abdullah, and would visit at least one of the three hotels in the Jordanian capital, Amman, attacked last week by suicide bombers linked to Al-Qaeda. The Jordanian official said Clinton would hold a news conference at one of the hotels, the Radisson SAS.
Reines said the Clintons are to return to Israel late Sunday and leave Monday for the U.S., after attending a state memorial to Israel's assassinated prime minister, Yitzhak Rabin.
He had no further details about the Jordanian visit.
