Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud Death

Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud Is No More


Saudi Arabian officials have announced the death of Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud.  The brother of King Abdullah was in his mid-80's, and had been suffering from medical problems for several years.  He is believed to have died in a New York hospital, though a statement from the court said simply that he died abroad.  


The Saudi monarchy says King Abdullah is mourning the death of his brother and Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, a key player in Saudi politics.The death of the planned successor, who served as both defense minister and deputy prime minister, throws into question the future leadership of a country facing simmering unrest at home and challenges from regional rival Iran.
