New Saudi king promises justice

Saudi Arabia's new king, Abdullah Ibn Abdul Aziz, promised to enhance justice and serve all citizens without discrimination.

King Abdullah said, in his first speech following the death of King Fahd and his accession to the throne, that he pledges God and the people to take the holy Quran as a constitution and Islam as a policy, and his preoccupation to be achieving justice for all peoples of the country.

On Wednesday, the Saudis pledged support before King Abdullah and his crow prince Sultan Bin Abdul Aziz at the Royal palace. They were led by Sheikhs, ministers, military leaders and businessmen. They were also supported in all Saudi areas and governorates by their princes in their capacities as representatives for the king in the Saudi tradition.
