| | Saudi Aramco World : Khalil's Arabia (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Khalil fiist went to Saudi Arabia in 1950 as a young machinist. |
 | | But wherever he was, Khalil, a warm, simple, outgoing man, inevitably enlarged his network of friends until eventually there were few countries where he could not expect an enthusiastic welcome. |
