King Abdullah meets princes at hospital

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah yesterday received Crown Prince Salman and other senior princes who came to congratulate him on the success of a back surgery he underwent at King Abdul Aziz Medical City about 10 days ago.
The meeting at the hospital comes a day after Prince Salman announced that King Abdullah is in good health.
"Brothers, I convey to you greetings of King Abdullah and I convey to you good news that he is well and in good health," Prince Salman, who is also the defense minister, told counterparts from the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council at a meeting in Riyadh.
King Abdullah underwent a similar operation in October last year and had back surgery twice in the United States in 2010 for a herniated disc, after which he spent three months outside Saudi Arabia recuperating.
