Report: King Fahd of Saudi Arabia Has Died
Monday, August 01, 2005

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Saudi Arabia's ruler, King Fahd, died early Monday in Riyadh, three officials told The Associated Press.

"The king died early this morning," said an official at the King Faisal Specialized Hospital in the Saudi capital who declined to be identified because the death of Fahd, who was believed to be 82, had not been officially announced.
