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. Tmr Crude Oil trading session, will WTI be able to make a comeback? The news probably have a bigger impact on ICE Brent. It's hard to believe that the inter-market spread is going to continue to grow after reaching all time high today over $15...
I think it's just a Twitter rumor at this point. Someone having a laugh because Obama got scolded by a Middle Eastern dictator. It'll be interesting to see if it's real, though.
Might get seriously shat on for this but his wife's freaking hot.
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...
You 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...
Oh yes. Sorry, my bad. His name is Abdullah too.

Wow. I never believed in love at first sight... and, yeah, I still don't. But holy fuck she's hot. I'd marry the shit out of her.
He's alive. According to Reuters, anyway.
He's alive and well fellas
jolly old chap. Long live the king!
Alhamdulillah. That guy is indestructible.
someone some where made a pretty penny off of this rumor....
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.
