They've announced a 3 day mourning period in the UAE starting today. Will it be dry?

Well well, the new King has fired 2 sons of Abdullah that held senior position and Bandar 'Bush' is out.

News also reports the new King has not forgotten UAE crown prince Muhammed Bin Zayed's comment about the King's father being an unevolved monkey.

Tisk Tisk.
