And cash in the house. A sudden 'holiday means ATMs won't be refilled.

I was surprised to find out he is only 66. Looks much older.

Forty days of mourning declared and schools and government offices remained closed for eight days. The private sector were close for three days.
Mourning meant flags at half mast, but I can't remember what else...

Wishing Sh. Khalifa speedy recovery.
