'I wish I could have taken the bullet for him'

The son of Jordanian writer, Nahed Hattar, shot dead on Sunday as he arrived for a trial for insulting Islam, has accused the country's prime minister of being responsible and has demanded his resignation. Mutasem Hattar says the family would not bury his father until King Abdullah forced the prime minister Hani al-Mulki to resign.
