Saudi King Fahd Dies
peakoil.com -> ap.org :
Saudi Arabia's ruler, King Fahd, died early Monday in Riyadh, three officials told The Associated Press. "The king died early this morning," said an official at the King Faisal Specialized Hospital in the Saudi capital who declined to be identified because the death of Fahd, who was believed to be 82, had not been officially announced.
Saudi Arabia's royal court says King Fahd's brother, Crown Prince Abdullah, has been appointed the country's new monarch.
- Either the transition will be orderly - or it could turn out to be disorderly. You could say there are "no two ways about it". This will be watched closely by observers, for the simple reason that Saudi Arabia is home to the world's largest oil field, Ghawar, and the largest conventional oil reserves.
