The top religious adviser to Jordan's king thanked Pope Benedict XVI on Saturday for his expression of "regret" after a 2006 speech that many Muslims deemed insulting to Islam's Prophet Muhammad.
Prince Ghazni bin Mohammed spoke after giving Benedict a tour of the biggest and newest mosque in Jordan's capital, Amman, his second visit to a Muslim place of worship since becoming pope in 2005.
