Two American professors shared the 2013 King Faisal International Prize (KFIP) for medicine for their pioneering works on the genetics of obesity, while a prominent Islamic worker from occupied Palestine, Sheikh Raid Salah Mahagna, was declared winner of the prize for service to Islam. The announcement was made by Prince Khaled Al-Faisal, Makkah governor, and Abdullah Al-Othaimeen, KFIP secretary-general, here last night.
