Former Saudi FM Prince Saud al-Faisal dies

Saudi Arabia's Prince Saud al-Faisal, formerly the world's longest-serving foreign minister who oversaw four decades of turbulent diplomacy for the oil-rich kingdom, died on Thursday.
A statement from the Royal Court said Prince Saud, who was born in 1940, died in the United States without giving the cause of death.
Funeral prayers will be held on tonight in the Muslim holy city of Mecca for Prince Saud, who was one of the highest profile members of the kingdom's ruling elite before stepping down in April for health reasons.
