Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz, Dead at 78

Saturday Nayef bin Abdulaziz, the Saudi Crown Prince died of unknown causes.

A three day mourning period is expected to follow the funeral, on Sunday.

Bahrain and Kuwait have both announced a mourning period of their own.

It was just in October that he had been named heir to the throne.

Nayef had led the Saudi side of the war against Al-Qaeda, since 9-11.

His son, Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, will now be the Saudi lead in the war on terror.

Sometime in the next week a new heir is expected to be announced.
