Death of King Abdullah bin Abd al-Aziz

King Abdullah's death was announced early yesterday 23 January. He had been King of Saudi Arabia since 2005 but in effective control ten years before that because of the ill-health of his half-brother the late King Fahd. He will be remembered as a king who continued in the tradition of his father King Abd al-Aziz, known to the world as Ibn Saud, seeking to give Saudi Arabia the benefits of the modern world by evolutionary reform without fundamental or sudden change. http://us7.campaign-archive1.com/?u=2820afb1fbae0c99e88fb6f52&id=34d6f727ec&e=672f0b89c4
