from
Wikipedia
On July 20, 1951, King Abdullah I was shot dead in Jerusalem while visiting the Al Aqsa Mosque.
His assassin, a Palestinian from the Husseini clan, was apparently concerned that Jordan and Lebanon were discussing a separate peace with Israel.
Abdullah's grandson, Prince Hussein Ibn Talal was with him at the time and was hit too.
King Abdullah's eldest son, Talal Ibn Abdullah, was proclaimed king but he was deposed in 1952 because of a mental illness.
His son Hussein Ibn Talal became king on his eighteenth birthday, in 1953.
