Saudi Arabia King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud Dies At About 90

King Abdullah With George Bush

[From article]
The absolute ruler of one of the most conservative societies on Earth, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia had to tread a narrow line between maintaining relationships with the West and appeasing opinion at home.
Raised with traditional Islamic views he was, nevertheless, seen as something of a reformer and became a vocal advocate of peace in the Middle East.
Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz Al Saud is believed to have been born in August 1924 in Riyadh, although there is some dispute about his actual birth date.
He was the 13th of the 37 sons of King Abdul Aziz Al-Saud who created the modern state of Saudi Arabia, and gave his family name to the new country.
[. . .]
His mother, Fahda, the eighth of his father's 16 wives, was of Bedouin descent and the young Abdullah spent long periods of his childhood living traditionally in the desert.
In a strict household the young prince was brought up to follow his father's traditional views and was taught religion, literature and science by Islamic scholars at the court.

Saudi King Warns Of Terror Attacks

Previously Russia warned the FBI about the Tsarnaev brothers and their links to terrorists. The FBI investigated and found no threat. Will those FBI geniuses do a similar investigation this time? And while they investigate or not terrorist threats to the nation, the FBI stands by while local police, Harvard University campus police and superintendents, crime families take turns with Communists harassing a 70-year-old white man. They all say, "He's crazy." which under their standards means they can harass disabled persons without worry of accountability. The same man was drugged for 80 consecutive days by government psychiatrists using hallucinogens contrary to law. He was not under the care of any physician, and there was no court order to allow this criminal abuse, poisoning under state statutes. After scaring him the FBI used him as a decoy, to fight organized crime for 15 years and did not pay him one cent. They did coordinate a subsequent 25-year retaliation campaign by the same crime families who participate (as in ongoing) 44 years later. What expensive, misguided priorities, and waste of taxpayer money.

[From article]
King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has warned that the West will be the next target of the jihadists sweeping through Syria and Iraq, unless there is "rapid" action.
"If we ignore them, I am sure they will reach Europe in a month and America in another month,"
