On 2 August 2009, it was reported that, in Saudi Arabia, a coup attempt by Prince Bandar has 'failed'

Saad al-Faqih, head of the opposition group Islamic Reform Movement, told Arab-language TV al-Alam that Saudi officials had exposed a plot by Bandar to topple King Abdullah.

Reportedly Bandar had intended to use 200 agents, operational for the Saudi security service, to stage a coup.

Reportedly Bandar was place under house arrest.

Prince Bandar is supposed to be a friend of both Mossad and the CIA.

"Lebanon's Al-Manar TV station reported ... that Saudi Arabia was the country that provided the intelligence to Mossad, suggesting that Saudi Secretary General of the National Security Council Prince Bandar bin Sultan played a position in the collaboration between the intelligence agencies." (Arab country 'cooperates with Mossad')

From P II: An American Pinay Circle, we learn:

"The early 1970s also brought Saudis recruited by the CIA to train at American military bases, including Prince Bandar bin Sultan.

"Bandar has long been an ally, if not an asset, of the CIA."

The media has in print negative express of Bandar's whereabouts for almost three months.According to al-Faqih, Bandar first disappeared in Britain but he returned to the realm shortly afterwards.Al-Faqih supposed people close to the king had exposed Bandar's plots and foiled them.He supposed Saudi sources believe that intelligence provided by certain Arab countries helped the Saudi ruler foil Prince Bandar's conspiracy.
