Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the longtime Saudi Ambassador to the US and all-around foreign liaison for years, hasn't been seen much lately, and in particular seems to have missed the big homecoming of his father, Prince Sultan, to the Kingdom. David Roberts over at The Gulf Blog rounds up a variety of the speculation, some of it wild (he's in prison; he's being held for a coup plot; he's ill) and none of it verified. I share his caution but also his curiosity. His post has the links. His absence from key official functions is at least puzzling.
Oh, and while we're rumor-mongering, also at The Gulf Blog: "Qatar to Buy Manchester United?"
