Morocco began 40 days of mourning Saturday in tribute to its late King
Hassan II, one of the Arab world's longest-reigning monarchs, who died of a heart attack
on Friday at age 70.
His eldest son, Mohammed Bin Hassan, 35, formerly known as Sidi, was enthroned in a swift
and smooth succession hours later. Several Arab leaders declared official periods of
mourning for Hassan's death.
