Saudi Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz, who has cancer, is reported to be in failing health at his home in Geneva, Switzerland.
Prince Sultan, 83, who serves as the Saudi defense minister and is a strong U.S. ally, has contended with cancer for several years. He moved to his palace in Morocco in March and when his condition worsened April 26 he was moved to Switzerland to be closer to his regular doctors, DEBKA-Net reported.
His brother, Interior Minister Prince Nayef, believed to be about 75, is expected to succeed him and would be in line to succeed Saudi King Abdullah, 85.
