DUBAI - A Saudi journalist and a member of the royal family denied rumors on Thursday that King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, in hospital since December suffering from pneumonia, had died, according to messages on social media.
"All that is being reported about King Abdullah's death is far from the truth," Ibrahem al-Rawsa, identified as a journalist at state-run Saudi Press Agency, wrote on his Twitter account.
A member of the royal family wrote: "I give you good news. The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques is fine and there is no truth to the rumors going around."
He was referring to King Abdullah's official title.
King Abdullah was admitted to the King Abdulaziz Medical City of the National Guard in Riyadh in December to undergo medical tests, according to state media.
The royal court earlier this month said that the king was suffering from pneumonia and had temporarily needed help to breathe through a tube, but that the procedure was successful.
he’s pinin’ for the fijords...

Don’t know about any new planes missing but I hear CNN is going to start a game show or two to help out ratings. Wolf is gonna host one about World History and Anderson Cooper will host one about Human Sexuality.
“I give you good news. The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques is fine and there is no truth to the rumors going around.”
Good. So custodial services there will continue.
Will we be sending James Taylor to represent us at the state funeral?
I didn’t know Dr. McCoy spoke arabic!
LOL

James Taylor is the perfect representative for the U.S. After all, he has seen fire and seen rain...

Clarification coming through now... He’s only semi-dead.
Uh, pretty much ALL of the media is now reporting he is dead:
Is anybody going to REALLY believe some twitter post to the contrary by some hack who works in the official Saudi propaganda department?
He’s dead, Jim.
I’d rather take in an old Jimmy Stewart movie.
