Reliable sources in the Saudi capital of Riyadh said Friday that King Fahd is dead, reports the Saudi Institute.
King Fahd of Saudi Arabia has been dead since late Wednesday, according to several well-placed sources in the capital Riyadh who spoke to the Saudi Institute, a pro-democracy think tank in Washington, on condition of anonymity.
A spokesman for the Saudi Institute told United Press International that the official death of the king will be announced Saturday.
There was no confirmation of a hightened security alert reported by some western media.

You're right.
The US had a friend in King Fahd, especially compared to his evil half-brother (the one who gets his boots licked by our President) Abdullah.

Makes me wonder what happened for the Saudis to finally decide he was dead. They decided who got the crown.

This guy'd been on a respirator and heart-lung machine for most of a year. Makes me wonder what happened for the Saudis to finally decide he was dead.

If they let him die now then the heir apparent must have solidified his rank.

I predict a massive power struggle amongst his family for control, and perhaps a bit of protest for democracy.

It's pronounced " kink Fahd." At least that's the way the young Saudis I knew said it.
