INCONSEQUENTIAL BEGINNINGS

Born in 1933, Naef bin Abdul Aziz has been interior minister since 1975. He has first approval of candidates for the central and regional Shura councils; local council members are also accountable to him, as well emirs in the provincial system established in 1993.

Prince Naef bin Abdul Aziz is the sixth son of Hassa al-Sudeiri, King Abdul Aziz favorite wife, and his 26th son overall. His early life as a child was lived in the shadows of elder brothers who had more personality and more attention from their peers. This scared him for life and was nicknamed "Khaef" which translates in Arabic to "Scared" and rhymes with "Naef". This nickname is still carried as a baggage for this ruthless Minister of Interior.

Naef ascended to high this high position in the Saudi government only because he was a Sudeiri, his ascension had nothing to do with competency or capabilities. In fact, most of his life he spent it in the shadows of his brothers which turned him into a virtual monster. This monstrosity has manifested itself very well in his job (See Shocking Inaction) in the form of tools of torture and human rights abuses. Having had to compete with Sultan and Fahd for attention has greatly affected him mentally and turned the man into a modern day Heckyll and Jeckyll..

Naef went through his training as Minister of Interior by working closely with Fahd when he was Minister of Interior. During that period of time, Saudi Arabia's turmoil stemmed from tribal feuds and border crossings by their neighbors to the South and East. The international pressure has not been built yet nor was Saudi Arabia synonymous with wealth and extraordinary oil reserves except with those who were associated with the oil industry. With no international pressure and presence, Naef handled simple matters with simple results mostly resolved by paying off tribal leaders to keep them in line. With Fahd as mentor, Naef did not take him long to become as corrupt and to use the weapon of money as a power tool.

QUICK TO EXECUTE

Former U. S. diplomats describe interior minister, Naef bin Abdul Aziz as the most feared official in the Saudi Arabian government. They describe his police agency as one of the world's most ruthless. He is in charge of keeping and controlling access to the government's most intimate secrets. His relations with U. S. officials have been described as "less than cordial." U. S. terrorism experts have found him and his agency less than cooperative in helping to solve who is responsible for the bombing of the U.S. base in Dahran.

"Intelligence cooperation with the Saudis is virtually nil," an intelligence source told syndicated columnist Jack Anderson. "The FBI may fly over there, but the information they get is diddly. The Saudis smile, tell some non-public details to them and assure them that they'll solve the case. But a month has gone by with no real progress." (The State Journal-Register - Springfield, IL, July 31, 1996).

U. S. officials were dismayed at the swift execution of the Saudi Arabians who were supposedly behind the November bombing in Riyadh because they did not get a chance to question the accused to see if they could find out if others were involved and who financed and organized the bombing. If the November and June bombings are linked, knowing this information may have prevented or delayed the June bombing in Dhahran.

HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES

Prince Naef and his ministry have been repeatedly accused of brutality and torture by myriad international human rights groups. According the Amnesty International's 1996 report on human rights in countries around the world, "Scores of political suspects, including possible prisoners of conscience, were detained in Saudi Arabia, and up to 200 others arrested the previous year remained held without trial and without access to lawyers." The report goes on to accuse Naef and company of extracting confessions by torture, abuse of political prisoners, unfair trials and arbitrary justice. (The Dallas Morning News, July 4, 1996).

What is at issue for human rights groups is not so much the rising rate of executions, even though many deplore capital punishment in any form, but the absence of basic rights for defendants. As Amnesty International's 1993 report puts it: "While Amnesty International recognizes that governments are entitled to bring to justice those responsible for recognizably criminal acts, including murder, drug-trafficking and rape, it maintains that those charged must receive a fair trial in accordance with basic international standards and should be punished if found guilty. (COMPASS Newswire, August 13, 1995).

Prince Naef's response to his critics: "We shall not be affected by any talk about human rights; it will not dissuade us from applying God's law." (BBC Summary of World Broadcasts, April 26, 1996). In an earlier response about his reaction to accusations about human rights violations, he stated, "I am more surprised that they write and talk about trivial things." (BBC Summary of World Broadcasts, May 17, 1993).

There is reason to believe that the Saudis are executing as drug-traffickers those who are really political prisoners and executing as political prisoners those who died under torture. Naef claims that the rise in execution is due to a more effective anti-drug campaign. If that is true, then it shows how disaffected with their plight Saudi citizens have become. For no drug smuggler or dealer would risk death unless a large market for narcotics promised lucrative rewards.

In 1995, Naef and his office was accused of killing political activist, Abdullah Abdel Rahman al-Hadhif, while trying to torture a confession out of him. They then allegedly tried to cover it up by accusing him of trying to kill a police officer.

Prince Naef seems to be operating on the premise that by squelching internal opposition other problems in the kingdom will go unnoticed. One Western official said, " the executions are an indication of the siege mentality currently afflicting the Saudi royal family." (Sunday Telegraph, April 30, 1995). But the citizens know that the government is not addressing the basic problems of Saudi Arabia, including rising unemployment, a population explosion that will only continue because 75 per cent of the people are under 30, and rampant corruption, especially within the royal family. As Minister of the Interior, it is Prince Naef's job to address these concerns, even if it means arresting members of his family, or stepping down because of his own corrupt practices, if any.

In reply to a question about charges against the royal family of corruption, decadence, and abuse of power, Naef responded, "These shortcomings and mistakes can happen in any society. We are trying to solve our mistakes. I would say that nobody is one hundred percent perfect." He is not so tolerant of the shortcomings of those outside his family.

Naef's abuse is not limited to political prisoners. In 1995, an Egyptian doctor, spent several months in jail and was convicted of defaming a Saudi school principal because that principal sexually abused his underage young daughter. His punishment: 80 lashes in a public square. His daughter gets abused sexually and when he complains, he get public scolding. This is the new Saudi Arabia in the image of those who run it, the Sudeiri Seven. Also in that same year, Abdul al-Aziz Muhammad Isse, from Somalia, was scheduled to be beheaded for murders that happened before he arrived in Saudi Arabia.

To protect their line to the throne, Prince Naef and his brother, Sultan bin Abdul Aziz, have striven to block their half-brother, Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz, who is next in line to the throne. When King Fahd handed power over to Abdullah after the king's stroke, the crown prince tried to pay farmers part of the $2.8 billion dollars in subsidies that the government owed them. Naef and defense minister Sultan were outraged and persuaded the king to resume power in February, even though the king has lost much of his short-term memory, and forgets where he is and what he is doing.

THE LONG ARM OF THE PRINCE

The reach of Prince Naef, Saudi Arabia's interior minister, extends beyond the borders of Saudi Arabia. He directly controls the Sunni association "al-Dawa" in Lebanon. Given his position as head of the Ministry of the Interior, it is highly likely that he was involved in the following abductions:

Saud al-Muammar, a Saudi military attaché in India, was lured to Jordan. There, he was forced into Saudi Arabia where the government tortured him to death.

In 1979, the Saudi government paid the PLO $2 million to kidnap the Saudi poet, Nasser El Said. No one has heard from him since.Nasser wrote a book about al-Saud.

In 1985, Muhammad Mirri, publisher of al-Nashua magazine was assassinated in Athens at the behest of the Saudi government.

Five years ago, Saudi citizen, Sheikh Muhammad al-Fassi was abducted from Jordan.... and the list goes on with no international outcry.

BEHIND EVERY GREAT MAN, THERE IS A GREATER WOMAN

Prince Naef is married to Maha al-Sudeiri, a distant cousin whose ventures and adventures have echoed around the world. First it started last September at the Swan Hotel in Walt Disney in Orlando, Florida when she beat with her bare hands a maid servant she accused of stealing $200,000 worth of jewelry.

When the police interfered, she tried to bribe one of the policeman. The police report did not mention the last incident after the Saudi Embassy in Washington dispatched an army of diplomats to control the situation. Maha apparently also beat the maid who was dating him just because she was dating him.

In April of 1996, Maha Sudeiri called the reservation system at the Marriott Hotel in Riyadh where she asked to reserve immediately seven villas for her guests. The reservation manager confirmed two reservations and told her politely that the other villas were occupied with guests at the present time.

Screaming and threatening on the phone, she demanded all seven villas.The manager stumbled and fumbled but refused to throw his guests out. Half an hour after she hang up the phone, she showed up at the hotel demanding the reservation manager. When he presented himself, she asked to see one of the villas. Upon arrival at the villa, she asked her security people to lock him there. The poor man was left locked for 3 days and had not been of the interference of the Marriott operations, he would have stayed much longer.

Another incident recently found her in a disco in Geneva - Switzerland wearing a Mexican sombrero and dancing in a vulgar way alone and in front of the public. Complaints by other family members poured in to Naef. Even Fahd sent a videotape of Maha Sudeiri dancing to Naef as a sign of displeasure.

OTHER VENTURES

Like other members of the royal family, Naef is not only a government leader, but a business man as well.

Prince Naef is not all ruthless work. Every year he and other members of the royal family go to Pakistan to hunt the houbara bustard, a bird in danger of extinction. Naef and other members of the royal family get special permits for the privilege of killing this rare animal. To accommodate their stay in Quetta, Pakistan, the princes have paid to have a special airport built for their use and spent Saudi money for the development of the land surrounding the hunting area, so that all of their needs would be met during their excursion.

The prince also finds time to conduct business. He is a share holder of the National Commercial Bank in Jeddah whose New York and London branches were closed in the aftermath of the BCCI scandal in 1992. In 1993, the bank was audited for the first time. Technically insolvent, National Commercial Bank had loaned between $3 and $7 billion to members of the royal family who have neither repaid the loans or the interest. The bank had only set aside up to $250 million for bad loans. European banks refused to extend any newness of credit to the institution. Those who have loaned from the bank are the same princes we decry in this site as corrupt and unworthy of ruling.

Prince Naef is a typical Sudeiri with all the arrogance, abuse, corruptness, and disgust that comes with the title. We predict at CACSA that once King Fahd dies, Prince Abdullah and his adviser Sheikh Abdul Aziz al-Tuweijiri who enjoys much respect in the US Administration will be given a chance to govern without the parasites of the likes of Naef, Sultan and Bandar. If this can happen, then maybe there is still light at the end of the tunnel for Saudi Arabia.
