More trouble for King Fahd...

 

A divorce case against King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, said to be worth £32bn and among the world's richest men, is to be heard in a British court.

 

London-based Janan Harb has filed a claim that she is one of the king's wives and that he has failed to provide reasonable maintenance for her.

 

The case will be heard in public after appeal court judges decided the ailing monarch's identity is relevant.

RIYADH, Aug 1 (Reuters) - Saudi state television interrupted regular broadcasting with recitations of the Koran and one Western diplomat said he had information that King Fahd had died in hospital on Monday.

 

"Sources at King Faisal Specialist Hospital have informed us that he (King Fahd) is dead," the diplomat said. He did not give further details.

 

A Saudi official source told Reuters that a member of the royal family had died on Monday.

 

"Most probably it is the king, everybody is waiting for the official announcement. We are all in a state of alert," he said.

 

Fahd, who was believed to be 83 and had been in poor health, entered hospital on May 27 with acute pneumonia. Saudi Arabia is the world's biggest oil exporter and is a close ally of the United States.

 

Fahd's half-brother Crown Prince Abdullah, who has been running the kingdom's day-to-day affairs since Fahd suffered a stroke in 1995, will automatically become king. Defence Minister Prince Sultan will be the new crown prince.

 

In the past two years, the kingdom has faced a violent al Qaeda campaign to end seven decades of the royal family's rule in Saudi Arabia, home to two of Islam's holiest shrines.

That was a stroke of luck.

Would've been luckier if he was on the list.

That's a bit more like it!

It looked to me that he had been dead for years but they just covered up the fact that he had died for some mad public relations reasons.

4th hit in my Derby deadpool list.

I'll be moving from =57th to about =36th some time later today. :)

Wow, they got that election over with quickly. Think of the hundreds of millions saved in campaign expenses. No accusations of gerrymandering, no candidates moving around to find "safe" seats, no voting irregularities, no recounts, no hanging chads. Here's to the efficiency of Middle Eastern politics.

Yes! My fifth DDP hit; I'm back in the top 20.

 

That's still disappointing, considering that I was in second place for a short while.

Of course, more shameful is that he wasn't on our 2005 list. King Fahd's third and last appearance on the DeathList was in 2000.

What are the chances of his successor being assassinated over another more popular claim to the throne?
