Author: Agencies

JEDDAH: Hours after the death of Mansour Bin Muqrin, son of former crown prince Muqrin al-Saud, Twitter was abuzz with the reports of the death of yet another Saudi prince, on Monday night.

The Arabic AlIthad News quoted a Saudi Royal Court release saying that the Saudi royal family mourned the death of the prince who died at 44. It, however, did not cite a reason for the death.

Prince Aziz, 44, was the youngest son of King Fahd and was reportedly arrested on Sunday.

The news of the arrest and a subsequent gunfight came from various sources and earlier reports suggested that Abdul Aziz was hospitalised.
