Saudi Crown Prince Dies; In His Late 70's; Said to Be a Bit of a Conservative

Link here to LA Times.

Nayef had a reputation for being a hard-liner and a conservative. He was believed to be closer than many of his brothers to the powerful Wahhabi religious establishment that gives legitimacy to the royal family, and he at times worked to give a freer hand to the religious police who enforce strict social rules.

Well, that changes things.
