During his visit to Peru for the Third Summit of South American-Arab Countries [1] (ASPA) from October 1-2, 2012, the King of Jordan, Abdullah Bin Al-Hussein, took a leisure trip [2] [es] from Lima to Cusco on his motorcycle. During the trip, two vehicles from the king's convoy forced a team of reporters to stop and tried to confiscate their cameras. A representative of the monarch later tried to apologize. The blog Andares writes about the episode and concludes [3] [es]: “Get out of here, King of Jordan.”
