	Faisal bin Turki bin Abdullah Al Saud - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Faisal escaped from captivity again and returned to Riyadh in 1843, where he easily defeated the then ruler, Abdallah ibn Thunayyan, a distant cousin who had in the meantime revolted against the ineffective Khalid ibn Saud and taken the capital.
		Faisal depended on a close alliance with the Al Rashid family of Ha'il, as Abdullah ibn Rashid played a key role in his success, and the families were extensively intermarried.
		Faisal ibn Turki is remembered as one of the greatest of all Saudi leaders, and although the infighting among his four sons eventually destroyed the state, this branch of the family, which includes the present King of Saudi Arabia, is still technically referred to as the Al Faisal (House of Faisal).

		Were Abdullah to choose his own crown prince in place of Sultan, as a 1992 Royal Decree allows, the power grab would set off reverberations in the family that could affect its stability.
		While Abdullah is unlikely to upset the implicit pact, his age, and that of his immediate successors, leaves open the second issue: transfer of power to the so-called third generation of princes.
		Turki, meanwhile, is a brother of Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal, who announced Bandar's resignation in Riyadh last week, even though Bandar had issued a statement denying the fact a week before.

	al Qaeda, Saudi Government Linked To Recruitment of U.S. Soldiers As Terrorist
		By J.M. An al Qaeda operative sought to recruit U.S. veterans as paramilitary trainers and combat volunteers in 1992 and 1993, at the explicit direction of a cleric who converted thousands of Gulf War soldiers to Islam on behalf of the Saudi government.
		An al Qaeda-trained bomb expert with ties to Ramzi Yousef and radical cleric Omar Abdel Rahman, Hampton-El testified that he was summoned to a meeting at the Saudi embassy in December 1992.
		In the interview, Philips explicitly denied supporting al Qaeda and condemned the terror network as being unIslamic, calling it "a misled, deviate, and terrorist group." There is no indication from Hampton-El's testimony or the Philips interviews as to whether he was aware of bin Laden's association with the Bosnian insurgency at the time.

		Which is why Prince Turki Al Faisal's sudden, unexplained resignation earlier this week, which came after just 15 months in his post, has left Washington so puzzled and concerned about possible palace intrigue in the House of Saud.
		Turki has also been rumored as likely to succeed his brother, but some Saudi watchers say that, at least for now, the King and other decision makers are undecided.
		As distressed as the White House may be over the apparent disarray in the House of Saud, it is just as reluctant to inject itself into an internal Saudi squabble or risk offending Bandar, who is close to the Bush family and others in the administration.
