Rumor: King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has passed away

An article in the Islam Times said King Abdullah suffered a sudden heart attack after a phone call with US President Obama regarding the Egyptian situation on Wed Feb 9th.

It was circulating among the dealers at like 12 am pacific time. When the broadcast picked that up, both WTI and Brent traded up a bit around 4:50 and 5:00 am EST. you will see a pretty clear spike, even the credit default swap on Saudi debt were up 15 pips. Now they are saying Saudi Royal Court denies rumor regarding King Abdullah’s death. I am trying to get another source to confirm it...

 
mxcYou must be mistaking her for the Queen of Jordan.

hahahaahaha, hilarious! Agreed tho... he probably made that mistake... Rumor is that Queen of Jordan and George Soros dated before. Don't quote me...

I'm willing to bet that it's true.

Whenever rumors of UAE sheikhs passing away emerged, they almost consistently unfolded to be true.

According to the reports, he had a heart attack.

That doesnt make sense though. One of his medical staff is a very close family friend... so NO, he doesnt have any problems with his heart (arteries are A-OK).

He only had problems with his back and went to NY Presb. for an operation a few months back, and then went to Morocco to rest a bit. He's fine.
