The Assassinated King
No big family is without a rotten apple. This was the truth for the Saudi royal family who suffered a family assassination in 1975. King Faisal was assassinated by his nephew after the young man returned from a trip to America. The same year as the assassination, the king was named “Man of the Year” by Time magazine.
9/11
When the world mourned the tragic day of 9/11 that tore America apart, Saudi Arabia was quick to claim they had no involvement in the attacks. An investigation followed, proving that 15 of the 19 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia.
