Breaking News now
(CNN)—Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz al Saud has died, according to an announcement on Saudi state TV. He was 90.
The next king will be Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz, state television reported.
The announcement of his death comes several weeks after the state-run Saudi Press Agency said Abdullah was suffering from pneumonia and had been admitted to the hospital.
King Abdullah became the oil-rich nation's sixth king in August 2005.
In the context of the kingdom's conservative circles, King Abdullah was seen as a reformer and often came up against more hard-line clerics.

Why do the saudi kings inherit the throne from brother to brother? They are all old and die every 10 years.

because there are more than 5,000 princes, as soon as the 1st generation of sons die, then there will be havoc.

Interesting that in the same day the Zaydi shia's of yemen have practically dethroned the government there, all government and municipal buildings are in their control in san'a.

Inalilahi wa'ina ilayhi rajicuun
I found this man corrupt and often tyrannical, but he was indeed much better than his predecessors. I hope the best for him.
