The man is dead: returning the body of Prince Sultan

"Second Deputy Premier and Minister of Interior Prince Naif said on Thursday the return of Crown Prince Sultan, deputy premier and minister of defense and aviation, to Riyadh after full recovery from a prolonged illness would be the happiest moment for the Kingdom and its people. The crown prince is due to arrive in Riyadh today." Let me translate the Saudi Wahhabi lingo: full recovery means that he was told by his doctor that there is nothing they can do, and that he will die any minute.
