Where is Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan? 20, January 2010

There’s a rumor floating around which I’d like to propagate some more insisting that Saudi Arabia’s former 22 year-long serving  Ambassador to America, Prince Bandar bin Sultan has disappeared. The London Review of Books blog has more on it but here’s a brief summary.

  • Unreliable Iranian media sources suggested that he had been arrested for plotting a coup of sorts
  • Others suggest that he’s ill or has been ordered to silence for meddling without approval in Syria
  • The hugely reliably (…) Saudi opposition sources maintain that Bandar is in Dhaban Prison in Jeddah. This is, according to the LRB blog, a high security facility where Bandar and 4 generals are being held in a separate wing
  • Bandar has missed many important engagements since his last public outing in December 2008 in including missing his official reswearing in as National Security Council head in September last year – a ceremony which traditionally entails pledging allegiance to the King
  • The key issue is, however, that he missed the homecoming of his father, Prince Sultan, from extended recuperation and medical care abroad in December 2009.

Update: here

Update of the update: he’s alive!

recorded voices and videos of the bandar are being released by sirian authoritis revealing the saudi’s hands on the hariris death and bashar asad toppling done and hariris court. this is the time for the gulf to have the news correctly instead of pantomizing surgical operation on bandara

He’s a chicken shit gypsy. He’s hiding because he had a hand in the turmoil that is happening in syria now. He also knows that because he had a hand in the turmoil, that hand is going to get chopped off. That’s why that gypsy is hiding.
