إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Saudi Arabia's Prince Saud al-Faisal, who was the world's longest-serving foreign minister, has died, family members and a foreign ministry spokesman said late Thursday.
Prince Saud, who was born in 1940, was one of the highest profile members of Saudi's ruling elite and steered the diplomacy of the world's leading oil exporter for four decades before stepping down in April for health reasons.
The prince oversaw Saudi Arabia's emergence as a major diplomatic player, facing successive regional crises and maintaining a focus on relations with the West.
Nawaf al-Faisal, a relative, announced the death on Facebook, while a foreign ministry spokesman also confirmed the death on Twitter and expressed condolences.
"I wish I could deny the rumor of the news of your death," the spokesman Osama Nugali tweeted.
Prince Saud's nephew Saud Mohammed al-Abdullah al-Faisal also acknowledged the death of the veteran diplomat.
"May God accept him in paradise," he wrote on Twitter.

Let this be a reminder for all Wahabis and M14ers. You keep wishing for someone elses doom, and what happens? Karma my friends.

Mystic. Equating Wahabis with M14 is your way of discrediting M14 (nice try).
Likewise, your equating the Resistance with the LAF is your way of crediting the Resistance with some patriotic aspect (nice try also).
Stop your propaganda and discuss issues as a free thinker.

You did a smiley, yet you know each one of us has to go one day, so what if your Sayed goes, would it amuse you if his opponents showed the same mockery? My friend Mystic said Karma, sure thing, then let's wait the turn of those you hold in such high esteem, personally I won't gloat, but given this abject behavior of yours, expect the same reaction when your side's turn comes. Karma it will be indeed.

Fair well Saud Alfaisal, modern day Winston Churchill. You have been a great supporter of Lebanon.

Tric, should you not be mourning the death of a great Portuguese lady that died so recently? You can mourn, even if you are in Dahieh, 3eyb.
