Dubai - Diplomats in Saudi Arabia said yesterday they had reliable reports King Fahd had been readmitted to hospital, less than a week after he was discharged following surgery to remove his gall bladder.

"We have taken it as fact . . . He went in [to hospital] in the small hours of Friday morning. He had some sort of retention of fluid after the operation which I understand is quite normal after that sort of operation," one diplomat said.
