Saudi Prince Saud al-Faisal has died at the age of 75, just months after retiring from an extraordinary 40 years as the world's longest serving Foreign Minister.
The son of the late King Faisal took office as Foreign Minister in 1975, the year the Lebanese civil war began, and held the office for four turbulent decades. He retired due to worsening health in April.
