UAE president dies

President of the United Arab Emirates Shaikh Zayid bin Sultan al-Nahayan has died, state television said.

He was 86.

"The royal court announces to Arab and Islamic countries and the rest of the world the death of the leader of the nation Shaikh Zayid bin Sultan al-Nahayan on Tuesday evening," said an announcement read out on Abu Dhabi television.

Aljazeera television interrupted its regular programmes to announce the death of the UAE president.

All UAE-based television channels switched from their scheduled programmes and broadcast Quranic verses following the announcement.
