=====

Saudi Arabia was the locus
of many developments over
the weekend. A missile fired
from Yemen penetrated deep
into Saudi territory, before it
was intercepted near Riyadh's
airport by the Kingdom's air
defense, with Iran being
blamed. A Saudi Prince and

deputy governor of Asir
province was killed in a
helicopter crash near the
Yemen border, with no
information being released
about the cause of the crash
or about the welfare of the
other officials who were on
board. Dozens of Saudi
Princes and ministers,
including one of the richest
men in the world, Prince
Alaweed Bin Talal were
suddenly placed under arrest
on Saturday at the Riyadh
Ritz-Carlton and at other
5-star hotels for an alleged
corruption probe.

Although the purge is being
presented as a reformist
maneuver by the young heir
apparent, Prince Mohammed
bin Salman (aka MBS), this
seems particularly odd in the
case of Bin Talal, who is a
Liberal Feminist, in addition to
being a major shareholder of
Citigroup, 21st Century Fox
and Twitter.

These moves are seen as a
coup to sideline all contenders
to the Saudi throne and to
cement the reign of MBS, as
he seeks to bypass the
previously established Saudi
rules of accession.
