King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, a playboy-turned-statesman who led his desert kingdom into a controversial military alliance with the United States that produced a violent backlash from by Islamic fundamentalists, died today after a long illness, the Saudi Royal Court announced. Saudi television said Fahd was 84.
The king's death was announced on Saudi television, which broke into regular broadcasting. Crown Prince Abdullah, the king's half brother, will succeed him as monarch. Fahd's funeral is scheduled for Tuesday evening in Riyadh.
