KING ABDULLAH
Death of a king: Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz al Saud, who reigned for close to a decade, has died at age 90. He was hailed as a reformer, as someone who tried to modernize his kingdom, often over the constant objections from hard-line conservatives in his country. In some areas, he succeeded. In some he didn’t, such as greater independence for women. The kingdom quickly appointed his 79-year-old brother Salman bin Abdulaziz to the throne.
