News from Saudi Arabia

A very knowledgeable Saudi sent me this information (but she does not want to be identified, nor does she want her location identified): "Here are some news: Prince Sultan is suffering from colon cancer and he is getting treated in New York. they have rented 150 homes to accommodate his entourage. The man who has his ear was his old operator ( I will get you his name later) His son Kahlid is running the show at the Defense ministry, but also his uncle Abdul Rahman is supposed to be the deputy but Khalid has the reins. There is an understanding between them on their line in the sand in terms of stealing money in their deals. Sultan is staying in Morocco for rest after his treatment. I am told he has become real fat. Naif is the one who is running the country and not abdul allah. He does as he pleases and no one can stop him. He is getting old. A new scandal is this fiasco where the prince tells one of the men: his mom did not raise him right. The man said, his mom did raise him right. Now, the man is suing Sultan bin Fahad* (the late king's son) using the same lawyer who defended the Qattif Girl (bint al Qattif). Apparently, Prince Salman scolded his nephew over his behavior. We think they will exile him to the island of Kharasan ( my mom's cynicism) she said, he forgot he is no longer important because his father died and he still thinks he is relevant. She said every one follows the strong including herself. Survival skills I assume. Now, they have all those jokes on prince charming sent with cell voice text. Boy, is the public making fun of him and shredding him to pieces. I went to the ritzy mall alfaislia, the agent for max mara is having a sale with the 5% of the proceeds going to Gaza. The owner is the previous owner of Al Sharq Al Awsat, I think his first name is Ibrahim and his last name is definitely Haffez. My brother says he is good people. I stayed over night transit at Dubai, spoke to the hotel staff and they were mentioning the economy sucks. That those who have been there more than five years stayed in their jobs. New hires were all sent back. You may post this but you may not use my name or location."
