On July 20, 1951, 69-year-old King Abdullah I was shot dead on the steps of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. Accompanied by his 15-year-old grandson Hussein and bodyguards, he came to pray at the grave of his father, who was expelled from’Saudi Arabia, and was shot dead by a 21-year-old local tailor, apparently a religious fanatic.
Abdullah I arrived in Jerusalem to conclude peace agreements with Israel. This decision had many opponents and, as a result, the king of Jordan died. In addition, 22 innocent people died when, after the attempted’assassination, the guards opened fire to kill.
Young Hussein miraculously survived – the bullet ricocheted off his medal. The monarch, on the other hand, died after being shot three times in the head and another in the chest.’age of 69.
