Saudi Prince Turki bin Nasser bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud has died in mysterious circumstances on Saturday evening.
Princes from the ruling family mourned the prince, who they said had died at the age of 73, had been suffering from a medical condition and was hospitalised last week, Saudi state media reported.
However, other Saudi sources suggested that Prince Turki may have been eliminated in the context of the conflict within the Saudi ruling family.
Prince Turki held a number of military positions, including Deputy Commander of the Kingdom’s Air Force, as well as a number of civilian positions, including Chairman of the National Meteorological Centre
