For the next three years, security forces battled mili- and sought to modernize the ultraconservative Muslim kingdom with incremental - cluding nudging open greater opportunities for women, has died, according to Saudi state TV. He was 90. More than his guarded and hidebound predecessors, Ab- dullah assertively threw his oil-rich nation’s weight be- hind trying to shape the Mid- dle East. His priority was to mainly Shiite Iran wherever it tried to make advances. He and fellow Sunni Arab mon- archs also staunchly opposed the Middle East’s wave of pro-democracy uprisings, seeing them as a threat to sta- bility and their own rule. He backed Sunni Muslim factions against Tehran’s al- lies in several countries, but in Lebanon for example, the policy failed to stop Irani- an-backed Hezbollah from gaining the upper hand. And Tehran and Riyadh’s collid- ing ambitions stoked proxy in Syria’s civil war, where the two countries backed op- in turn hiked Sunni militancy that returned to threaten Sau- di Arabia. And while the king main- tained the historically close alliance with Washington, there were frictions as he sought to put those relations on Saudi Arabia’s terms.

Bashar Assad. Abdullah’s death was announced on Saudi state TV by a presenter who said the king died at 1 a.m. on Friday. His successor was announced as 79-year-old half-brother Prince Salman, according to a Royal Court statement carried on the Sau- di Press Agency. Salman was Abdullah’s crown prince and had recently taken on some of the ailing king’s responsi- bilities. Abdullah was born in Ri- yadh in 1924, one of the doz- ens of sons of Saudi Arabia’s founder, King Abdul-Aziz Al Saud. Like all Abdul-Aziz’s sons, Abdullah had only ru- dimentary education. Tall and heavyset, he felt more at home in the Nejd, the king- dom’s desert heartland, rid- ing stallions and hunting with falcons. His strict upbringing days he spent in prison as a young man as punishment by his father for failing to give his seat to a visitor, a viola- tion of Bedouin hospitality. Abdullah was selected as crown prince in 1982 on the day his half-brother Fahd ascended to the throne. The decision was challenged by a full brother of Fahd, Prince Sultan, who wanted the title for himself. But the fami- ly eventually closed ranks behind Abdullah to prevent splits. Abdullah became de facto ruler in 1995 when a stroke incapacitated Fahd. Abdullah was believed to have long rankled at the closeness of the alliance with the Unit- ed States, and as regent he pressed Washington to with- draw the troops it had de- ployed in the kingdom since the 1990 Iraqi invasion of so in 2003. When President George Abdullah again showed his readiness to push against his U.S. allies. In 2000, Abdullah con- vinced the Arab League to approve an unprecedented of- fer that all Arab states would agree to peace with Israel if it withdrew from lands it cap- tured in 1967. The next year, he sent his ambassador in Washington to tell the Bush administration that it was too unquestioningly biased in favor of Israel and that the kingdom would from now on pursue its own interests apart from Washington’s. Alarmed by the prospect of a rift, Bush soon after advocated for the Palestinian state alongside Israel. The next month, the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks took place in the United States, and Abdullah had to steer the alliance through the result- ing criticism. The kingdom was home to 15 of the 19 hijackers, and many pointed out that the baseline ideology The tougher line helped - He paid two visits to Bush — in 2002 and 2005 — at his ranch in Crawford, Texas. When Fahd died in 2005, the throne. He then began to more openly push his agen- da. His aim at home was to modernize the kingdom to face the future. One of the world’s largest oil exporters, Saudi Arabia is fabulously wealthy, but there are deep disparities in wealth and a burgeoning youth population in need of jobs, housing and education. More than half the current population of 20 million is under the age of 25. For Abdullah, that meant building a more skilled work- force and opening up greater room for women to partic- ipate. He was a strong sup- porter of education, building universities at home and in- creasing scholarships abroad for Saudi students. gave women seats on the Shura Council, an unelected body that advises the king and government. He prom- ised women would be able to vote and run in 2015 elec- tions for municipal councils, the only elections held in the country. He appointed the in a 2009. Two Saudi female athletes competed in the 2012, and a small handful of women were granted licenses to work as lawyers during his rule.
