RIYADH - Saudi Arabia said on Tuesday King Abdullah had arrived in New York for medical treatment. The official Saudi Press Agency says the 86-year-old monarch was greeted by Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal and a number of top Saudi officials after landing at New York's John F. Kennedy airport on Tuesday. The agency published photographs of Abdullah in a wheelchair, shaking hands with al-Faisal. Abdullah on Monday gave temporary authority to "administer the nation's affairs" to Crown Prince Sultan, his half-brother and heir to the throne. Saudi authorities have been unusually open about the king's condition since announcing that he suffered a slipped disc and that a blood clot was pressing nerves in his back, causing him pain.
