Michelle Obama heads home from curtailed Mideast tour

Michelle Obama left Qatar on Friday almost
48 hours later than scheduled after bad
weather forced her to extend her stay in the
Gulf state and cancel a planned trip to Jordan.
Her plane took off from Doha just after
0700 GMT bound for Washington,
officials said.
The US first lady had been scheduled to
travel to Amman on Wednesday for the
second leg of a seven-day tour to
promote girls’ education.
However flooding in Jordan delayed her
departure and on Thursday officials
announced that she would calling off the
rest of her trip and and heading home
early to the United States.
An official travelling with Obama said
she was “extremely disappointed”
