This is very sad for me, as I knew the then Dean of the Ambassadors personally and even taught his daughter at American University.

It is Now Official: Saudi Arabia's Prince Bandar Was Indeed Killed in a Bomb Blast

Hamsayeh.Net - After nearly two months of constant denials by Saudi officials, they now say that the newly appointed intelligence chief's was indeed killed following a huge bomb blast on July 23 at the headquarter of the Saudi Intelligence in Riyadh. According to Bandar's own deputy Mashaal al-Qami his former boss was most probably killed in a massive bomb blast, reports NTD TV. Reliable news sources have also claimed the bomb blast was in response to an earlier bomb blast in Damascus by US-Israeli backed mercenaries and blamed on Saudis  that killed several high ranking Syrian officials. The July 18 terrorist bombing in Damascus however failed to weaken Syria's Bashar al-Assad who still enjoys huge popularity amongst Muslims and Arabs worldwide. On July 31, the Times of Israel alleged that the attack on the former Prince was a revenge for the Damascus bombing. Syrian officials reject any involvement in the alleged incident.
