July 31, 2012 8:52 AM EDT Unconfirmed reports are emerging from the Middle East and Europe that Saudi Arabia’s intelligence chief Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has been assassinated. The Voltaire Network of Paris reported that Bandar was killed in a bomb attack on July 26. He was apparently murdered by Syrian operatives in retaliation for his alleged role in the July 18 bombing in Damascus which killed four of President Bashar al-Assad’s inner circle, including Defense Minister Dawoud Rajiha and his deputy Assef Shawkat. However, neither Saudi nor Syrian sources have confirmed the alleged assassination. The Prince was a familiar figure in the U.S. since he served as Saudi ambassador to the US from 1983 until 2005. He was appointed Saudi intelligence chief earlier this month, reportedly a reward for having orchestrated the Damascus attack. 2012-07-31 09:21:09 Permalink

Bandar may well be dead, maybe even murdered, and if so it would not be unusual for the KSA to keep mum about it until they have a plan. If Bandar was in fact killed and they believe that Syria/Iran has struck at the most Americanized wing of the House of Saud, ... wow. As their former amabassador, he is probably one of the few Saudis that many Americans may have heard of and even recognise. Very closely associated with the US and UK for many years and many powerful friends in high places. This all bears watching for that reason alone. (I wonder what he's been up to since 2005? Too lazy to search it.) http://www.saudiembassy.net/about/prince.... Interesting find LP, and imo something to watch out of the corner of the eye for now. BTW, fans of Debka and WND might find the source of that report ( http://www.voltairenet.org/en ) an entertaining site to browse. Bring your salt shaker. ---------- I think Paulson and Bernanke knew early on that Wile E. Coyote had already run straight off the cliff, so they chose to focus on frantic efforts to slow his descent before J6P notices the "gravity" of what has happened, hoping that the proles won't panic telegenically on the way down. 2012-07-31 12:57:38 Permalink
