So it is not easy to know if the story is right or wrong. Keeping the rumors under wraps from families and tribes for such a large number of people is almost impossible. The story seems inaccurate.

Although interesting it does at least quote an alledged National Guard officer by name...but still, too vague. However it is known that a lot of news is buried as it is not deemed suitable for public consumption. But again, I reiterate that I do not believe the Aafaq article.

Some of those princes are such money hungry vampires...they wouldn't let anything or anyone stand in their way from getting more of what they want and that is greed and power. HOwever I doubt 150 of anything is enough for a coup... I believe it! or at least could believe it.

As Saudis, we surley would have heard about it in the "street" way before this non-saudi source. Strange. I don’t know about this Aafaq source.
