Saudi spy chief Prince Bandar assassinated, report says

Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud

Tue Jul 31, 2012 1:4AM GMT

Saudi Arabian spy chief Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has been assassinated, a report says.

The Paris-based Voltaire Network confirmed the death of 63-year-old Prince Bandar on its website on Monday, citing unofficial sources.

The international non-profit organization, which publishes a free website (voltairenet.org) in eight languages, said that Prince Bandar was killed because of his role in the July 18 deadly bombing in Damascus.

The bombing killed at least four high-profile Syrian security officials, including Defense Minister Dawoud Rajiha and his deputy Assef Shawkat who is also President Assad's brother-in-law.

However, there has been no confirmation or denial neither from Saudi officials nor from the Syrian government yet.

Bandar, who was Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the United States from 1983 to 2005, was named the kingdom’s Secretary General of the National Security Council in 2005. On 19 July 2012, he was appointed Director General of the Saudi Intelligence Agency by King Abdullah.

Many said his promotion was a reward for the role he played in organizing the attack in Damascus, the organization reported.

This is bad. He was not that old. His story was interesting to read. His father was a 20 year old Saudi Prince and his mother was a young teenager who was a palace servant. His father had little contact with him as a child. He was brought up by his grandmother (the Queen) who discovered that he was very intelligent.

The Kingdom has not issued any official statement on his death. It is either not true or they have been taken by suprise and are now scrambling and in a panic.

There is nothing innocent about Saudi's sponsorship of organizations linked to global terror, remember, the sponsored OBL and funded the Taliban and many terrorist groups in Pakistan. Now they are involved in funding rebels in Syria and getting lil bloodied for it.

Just think of the amount if innocent lives lost in India, Pakistan, Afgan, Iraq and the rest of the region at the hands of Saudi sponsorship.

Ah, but Saudi is a staunch US ally, more loyal than Israel. I notice the Saudis just donated a whole new wing at Johns Hopkins! And remember the Saudi king and Bush hugging up and kissing up, and holding hands like young innocent lovers strolling down lovers lane?

You should delegate people with name and nature to attend the funeral rather than going after my friend, Nehru.

Prince Bandar also may have been in a battle with Prince Turki. Now this Prince Turki is a very highly intelligent and a very shrewd individual. He probably is the smartest Saud family member. He is like Burnham, Jagdeo and Robert all in one. He is not someone that you want to be enemies with if you are not prepared to get your behind kicked.

The GUY is just going on the hide. He is not dead. He is the Architect of the Syrian revolution and the mastermind of the bombing that killed a Syrian general and now he fears for his life. So he is pretending to be dead and the Saudi Government is helping him.
