>>Sands shift under House of Saud
>> By Tina-Marie O'Neill
>>Dublin, Ireland, 11 August, 2002
>>
>>The Saudi Royal family
>>
>>Age: King Fahd: 80; Crown Prince Abdullah: 78
>>
>>Appearance: Similar bearded appearance. Always dressed in traditional
>>Islamic garb. Like ageing Saudi rockstars, they're rarely seen without
>>heavy dark sunglasses
>>
>>Newsworthiness:
>>
>>Crucial in any US-led attack on Iraq, the unstable monarchy is clinging
>>to power
>>
>>The United States is facing the potential nightmare that Saudi Arabia,
>>its pivotal long-time ally in the Middle East, may not support an attack
>>on Saddam Hussein. Last Wednesday Saudi foreign minister Prince Saud
>>al-Faisal went further and told the United States its forces would not
>>be allowed to use its territory as a base in the event of such a
>>military campaign.
>>
>>Meanwhile, the US had distanced itself from a leaked think-tank
>>recommendation that the United States `target' Saudi oilfields and
>>financial assets if the Arab kingdom doesn't do more to fight terrorism.
