LONDON (Reuters) - A British judge has ruled that Dubai's ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum ordered the abduction of two of his daughters and orchestrated a campaign of intimidation against his former wife.

His conclusions followed a series of court hearings in London to decide on the custody of the Sheikh's two children with his former wife, Jordanian Princess Haya bint al-Hussein.
