Background

Prince Turki bin Faisal attended the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University, graduating in the class of 1968 alongside future U.S. President Bill Clinton.[2]

9/11 Attacks

On 5 November 2011, Turki asserted on Saudi TV that Ossama bin Laden was responsible for the 9/11 Attacks, stating that "The religious edicts issued by [bin Laden] are the main evidence because they call for attacking American soldiers and civilians. Only those people devoid of feelings will still ask for evidence."


 

A Quote by Turki bin Faisal al-Saud

PageQuote
Safari Club“In 1976, after the Watergate matters took place here, your intelligence community was literally tied up by Congress. It could not do anything. It could not send spies, it could not write reports, and it could not pay money. In order to compensate for that, a group of countries got together in the hope of fighting Communism and established what was called the Safari Club. The Safari Club included France, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and Iran.”
