Arabia
Saudi King Fahd doing well in hospital
2005-05-28
Saudi Arabia's King Fahd, a U.S. ally and ruler of the oil giant that has been fighting al Qaeda, has been hospitalised but officials said he was doing well.
"Oh, yasss! His condition is very stable!"
Fears about the king's health had heightened on Friday after a royal statement urged the monarch's subjects to pray for his recovery. Medical sources said the king, incapacitated by a stroke in 1995, had pneumonia and high fever. But the official SPA news agency quoted an official as saying: "King Fahd is well, thank God, and the medical tests he is undergoing are proceeding in a normal way." The royal statement gave no details on the condition of Fahd, who is in his early 80s.

#2  Right now, the media are split between these two somewhat divergent reports on Frahd's condition. Since it is the official Fraudi line that the king is still alive and well, and most other sources claim he is dead, this might be a good indicator of just which media beasts are on the take from the Fraudis.
