We gathered that Mohammed died on Wednesday at age 52 after a brief illness.
A close family source, who preferred not to be named, confirmed the death of Mohammed to our correspondent.
The source said, “We are trying our best not to let his mother hear about the death yet because it may worsen her sickness.”
