Saudi Arabia: haven for Nazi allies too
The first deposed Arab leader to be sheltered in Saudi Arabia was the Iraqi Rashid `Ali Kilani, who aligned with the Nazi regime. The House of Saud really liked the Nazi regime but did not dare say so for fear of British wrath. A former US ambassador in Saudi Arabia told me that King `Abdullah keeps a dagger with a swastika on it, given by Hitler to his father King `Abdul-`Aziz.
