I-Times - Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz passed away yesterday, according to an I-Times reporter...

Saudi Arabia's 86-year-old King Abdullah was discharged from a New York City hospital in good health after going through two back operations in December 2010. The king delegated the management of the affairs of the world’s largest oil supplier to his half-brother, Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz, during his absence.

King Abdullah talked with Obama about the situation in Egypt over the phone yesterday. Obama and the King got into a heated debate about their opinions of what Hosni Mubarak should do. After the phone call sources stated that King Abdullah was furious and then suffered a sudden heart attack.

Doctors ran to his resuce but were unable to save him. He was pronounced dead, but his death was not reported due to the sensative conditions that exist in the region. The Saudi Arabian government will reject this claim; but the ball is in their court to prove that he is alive.
 
RIP Mfalme; Middle East will now be able to know the real meaning of peace and democracy at work.
 
It is too bad if these news are true. However, I doubt the way they are put as they look like speculations!!!!!

It's sad to hear about the death of this great promotor of interreligious dialogue. Two years ago, I started reading about what he was doing and promoting and I was impressed. He was organising conferences between Muslims and non-Muslims (belivers of other religions), urging them to work together on issues they all agree and leave those, that divide them. I, being a Christian, feel sad for the passing away of our brother and friend in faith. Certainly, what he was trying to promote will continue - interreligious dialogue - because it is possible and important for all of us. May his soul rest in peace! May also his family and friends be consoled during this time of bereavement.

King Abdullah taken to Hospital
Islam Times – The king of Saudi Arabia was taken to the hospital for further testing. This indicates that his fragile physical state is worsening .

Islam Times reports that the official news agency of Saudi Arabia announced that the king of Saudi Arabia was taken to the hospital for further testing on Friday, the 19th of November. Doctors advised the 86 year old king to rest due to severe back pains.
It seems as if King Abdullah suffers from blood clots in addition to back pain. Before this, the Saudi Arabian king accepted, Badr bin ‘Abd al-‘Aziz, his brother's, resignation from being his successor and appointed his son Muta'ab in his stead. Badr asked to be excused from his duties in the Saudi Arabian national guard due to medical reasons.
The Saudi Arabian king has been the leader of the national guard since 1962. The national guard is the foundation of his power.
The king has limited his political activity since June. His illness has even caused him to dismantle his weekly meetings with his cabinet. Many analysts believe that there will be a serious power struggle after his demise due to the age of his probable successor.
 
Taken to what hos?this is acient news.as far as i know da king was in morroco recovering after the operation.
If he is dead how did the news leaked before the official news.
I know very few people are allowed near him dat is why when in washngton they took over the entire wing of da hospital even USA vice prez Biden when he visted him wasnt allowed to see him.
This could be a bloodyhoax

BREAKING NEWS: BBC CONFIRMS - King Fahd of Saudi Arabia die

King Fahd of Saudi Arabia dies

King Fahd's life

King Fahd, Saudi Arabia's ruler since 1982, has died at the age of 84.
Saudi state television announced Crown Prince Abdullah, his half-brother, had been named as King Fahd's successor.

King Fahd had been frail since suffering a debilitating stroke in 1995 and had delegated the running of the kingdom to Crown Prince Abdullah.

Members of the royal family have pledged allegiance to Abdullah. An official ceremony confirming him as king is due to be held on Wednesday.

King Fahd's funeral is scheduled for Tuesday, while on Wednesday Saudi citizens will be able to pledge their loyalty to their new ruler at a palace in the capital, Riyadh.

Defence Minister Prince Sultan is next in line to the throne after Abdullah, his half-brother, and was named crown prince.

The king had been ill in hospital for two months and his passing away came as no surprise, says the BBC's Heba Saleh in Cairo.

The smooth succession of Crown Prince Abdullah, who has been the de facto ruler of the kingdom since the mid-90s when ill health confined King Fahd to a wheelchair, has also been widely expected, she adds.

'Sorrow and sadness'
"With all sorrow and sadness, the royal court in the name of his highness Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdel Aziz and all members of the family announces the death of the servant of the two holy mosques, King Fahd bin Abdel Aziz," Minister of Information Iyad bin Amin Madani announced on state television.

"He died after suffering an illness. God now allows the custodian of the two holy mosques, King Fahd, with great mercy and forgiveness, to reside in his wide heaven."

The king died early on Monday at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital in Riyadh, where he was admitted on 27 May for unspecified medical tests, the Associated Press (AP) news agency reports.

An extraordinary Arab summit due to be held Wednesday in the Egyptian resort of Sharm al-Sheikh has been postponed because of King Fahd's death.

Countries across the Middle East are holding periods of mourning.
President George Bush has spoken to King Abdullah to offer US condolences, and the US embassy has announced the three-day closure of its office in Riyadh and its consulates in Jeddah and Dhahran, the Associated Press has reported.

Other world leaders have responded to the news of King Fahd's death.
"King Fahd was a man of great vision and leadership who inspired his countrymen for a quarter of a century as king, and for many more before that," UK Prime Minister Tony Blair said in a statement.
"He was also a good friend of the United Kingdom. Our two countries have benefited very greatly over the years from his wise advice."

France's President Jacques Chirac expressed "profound sadness" at the news in a message of condolence to the Saudi government.

"During his reign, King Fahd put the safety of his people above all else. In perilous times he was the guarantor of his country's cohesion and the defender of regional stability. He knew how to apply wisdom to the Kingdom's changes," the message said.

Absolute monarch
King Fahd ascended the throne in 1982 after seven years as crown prince, making him absolute monarch of the world's largest oil-producing country and home of Islam's two holiest sites, the mosques at Mecca and Medina.

He threw the weight of the kingdom behind Arab causes and was heavily involved in regional issues such as the search for a peaceful settlement to the Lebanese civil war which ended with an agreement signed in the kingdom.

The monarch's decision in 1990 to invite American forces into Saudi Arabia after Iraq's invasion of Kuwait was heavily criticised within the country.

No not this one...
