	frontline: house of saud: a chronology - the house of saud PBS
		The senior Al Saud brothers realize something has to be done and arrive at a consensus to replace Saud with a more capable leader.

	iranian.com: Persian Gulf, Guive Mirfendereski, Book review, Faisal bin Salman al-Saud
		Bin Salman stays away from the use of the label “Arabian Gulf” contrary to the demands of his pedigree, and avoids using the term Persian Gulf perhaps as a concession to his publisher in order to garner a wider appeal for the book.
		Bin Salman provides an eminently readable analysis of the near-four years that preceded the termination of Britain’s colonial commitments in the Gulf on 1 December 1971 and the emergence of a new order there.
		One major equivocation by Bin Salman relates to the notion that Iran and Britain had embarked on a “package deal” involving the relinquishment of the Iranian claim to Bahrain in return for the recognition of Iranian ownership of the Tonbs and Abu Musa (p.

	Citizens In Space, Yes. Publicly-Funded Space Tourism, No
		Salman al-Saud is described with diplomatic vagueness in lists of Shuttle payload specialists as being "on hand" in 1985 for the ARABSAT-A deployment; and as a "legitimate representative" of Arabsat, one of NASA's "paying customers." Digging deeper for credentials, you won't find much.

		Whether Salman al-Saud would be truly useful in orbit might have been a minor consideration.

		Though an effective critic of the House of Saud, al-Fagih is hardly the kind of proxy Washington usually elopes with.
		Al-Saud had sold the US a bill of goods on stability in the kingdom, he says, and the attacks "convinced the Americans that the Saudis were lying - not for the sake of protecting the violent groups, but for the sake of keeping the American government from considering any alternative to the Saudi regime".
		The United States and the House of Saud have maintained a mutually beneficial relationship for decades under which the US has gained access to the Arabian Peninsula's oil reserves and Saudi Arabia has willingly received US shipments of arms.
