Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz has died, state television report.

His brother Salman had become king, it said in a statement attributed to Salman.

King Salman has called on the family’s Allegiance Council to pay allegiance to Muqrin as his crown prince and heir.

The news broke shortly after midday, NZT, hours after rumours of the kings death were denied by a Saudi journalist and a member of the royal family.

The king had been in hospital since December suffering from pneumonia.

Markets had kept a close eye on the health of the king of the world’s top oil producer, a country that also has influence over Muslims through its guardianship of Islam’s holiest sites.

King Abdullah, who took power in 2005 after the death of his half-brother King Fahd, was thought to be 91, although official accounts were unclear. He underwent surgery in the past few years related to a herniated disc.

Better hurry - he'll be in the hole pretty quick.

Awful close to Yemen...

I can't help wondering how long Saudi Arabia can remain stable....

think he can bow lower than a dead man?

How long do you think the flags will be a half mast? You know he'll be at THAT funeral.:mad:

Come on, be optimistic. Maybe Barry will commit Sati?

I just read on MSNBC that SoS John Keary has just announced that he will lead the WH contingent to Saudi Kingdom for the King's internment.

He has invited the Bee Gee's to sing something appropriate.

LMAO

Salman is going on 78 yo.
He's had a stroke and his right arm doesn't work
There are suggestions that he suffers from dementia or possible Alzheimer's
Can anyone spell "Puppet"

Abdullah only lasted 10 years. This guys won't last much past that.

Maybe they should consider a alternative succession model.

S

I wonder if John will tell them he served in VN?

High heat and sand create glass.
