King of Saudi Arabia dies

[World Eater]

From BBC. (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-30945324)

A statement, made early on Friday, said his brother, Salman, had become king.

Before the announcement, Saudi television cut to Koranic verses, which often signifies the death of a senior royal.

King Abdullah, who was said to be aged about 90, had been in hospital for several weeks suffering from a lung infection.

Abdullah came to the throne in 2005 but had suffered frequent bouts of ill health in recent years.

Bring on the succession crisis.

With a family of some 15,000 members, someone is bound to hate Salman.

RIP but didn't he ban women from driving in his country?

If it wasn't him it was one of his brothers or his father.

Although I was 99 percents against him,but no one's death is pleasing,especially if you know the deceased person didn't use any of his chances to reform himself and correct the mistakes which he had made and regret the crimes which he had commited in his life before he died.He didn't die a good man,not at all,but I'm not happy for his death,since it just means another person lost that chance to be a better person.

Good riddance.

even if he wasn't the best of people, I will not celebrate the death of another human being
