He's been trending that way forever, but the succession should be interesting.

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.

I've had the feeling for a long time that as long as he was alive certain factions over there were held in check. It'll be interesting to see if they feel free to operate more openly now.

From the your link it looks like he's been dead since late May.

He's playing in a mixed-doubles tournament with Yassir Arafat.

Is this the guy who is always on vacation with hundreds of servants and reserves nearly entire hotels for this purpose?

Yeah, but King Fahd's been doing the Generalissimo Francisco Franco for many moons.
