The 93-year old King of Saudi Arabia was sent to hospital on Wednesday for medical checks according to the Royal Court.
King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, who has ruled Saudi Arabia since the death of his half-brother King Fahd in 2005, was admitted to the King Abdulaziz Medical City in Riyadh, the latest in numerous trips to hospital by the aging monarch in recent years.

Just now breaking on Social Media. This could get "Interesting", VERY fast...
The King is 92.
His appointed successor is younger, but reportedly suffering early stage dementia.
The appointed #3 is even younger, but could cause a civil war with half the clan, because his mother is/was a Yemeni SLAVE...

Successor #3 reminds me of Obama. First day on the job, already carrying a grudge and a destructive agenda.
