Doha: The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia will stay in hospital for some time to rest on doctors' advice after undergoing a colonoscopy on Sunday afternoon, the state-run Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said, citing the royal court.

It said the results of the colonoscopy were fine, and did not say exactly how long the kind would be in hospital.

SPA had reported earlier that the king was admitted to King Faisal Specialist Hospital on Saturday evening in the Red Sea city of Jeddah to undergo medical tests, also citing a statement from the royal court.
