David Holden

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Holden was the Chief Foreign Correspondent of London based newspaper The Sunday Times. He is best known for the most authoritive book on the Saudi Royal family The House of Saud which he started in 1976. Although he was branded 'Pro Arab', he was myteriously assassinated in Cairo, Egypt in 1976 before he could complete his book. The book was later completed by his buddy Richard Johns of Financial Times. Egyptian intelligence claim he was a case of mistaken identity as there was a reporter with same name. Others say he had dug the history of Saudi Royal family and their relationships with the British just too deep.
