Saudi Arabia's King in Mecca for Crown Prince's Burial
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: The aged king of Saudi Arabia led a burial ceremony on Sunday for his brother, Crown Prince Nayef Abdul-Aziz, in the holy city of Mecca before his internment following evening prayers.

He was the second heir to the throne to die outside the country in less than a year. The 88-year-old King Abdullah gathered with royal family members and international envoys for the service. Prince Nayef's wrapped body was carried through crowds of relatives in a ceremony broadcast live on several television channels.

Abdullah has now outlived two appointed successors from among the elderly group of sons of Saudi's founding monarch, King Abdul-Aziz.
