King Abdullah has died...

Not that the Gulf News knows yet! But anyway...

I'm guessing all the local heads of state will be attending the ceremony........or will they?

The mosques are LOUD this morning here in KSA.

Jordan announced 40 days of mourning, as has Bahrain with the latter closing gov't departments for 3 days. I believe that the UAE has announced 3 days of mourning too.

I wonder if KSA will be closed for longer just sayin'...

What will happen here during the mourning period? I noticed the radio's had stopped playing like normal.
