King Salman of Saudi Arabia

By the way, the appointment of Prince Bandar as head of Saudi intelligence is a sure sign that King `Abdullah is not charge.  `Abdullah hates Bandar (read David Ottaway's book on Saudi-US relations and the story of the documentary that really pissed off `Abdullah) and the appointment is an indication that Salman (or his sons and other Sudayris) are now in chrage and shuffling the deck quickly.
