It is requested that a picture or pictures of this person be included in this article to improve its quality. Note: Wikipedia's non-free content use policy almost never permits the use of non-free images (such as promotional photos, press photos, screenshots, book covers and similar) to merely show what a living person looks like. Efforts should be made to take a free licensed photo during a public appearance, or obtaining a free content release of an existing photo instead.

An appropriate infobox may need to be added to this article, or the current infobox may need to be updated. Please refer to the list of biography infoboxes for further information.

This article is difficult to follow, does not explain what it is about or give any background information.

There are blocks of text in non-english languages.

I think this should be either deleted or heavily revised and trimmed, but I will leave it here for others to review.

[edit] Category U.S. Scandal?

Although he himself was involved with the scandal does he belong in the category? Perhaps it would be better if he was linked on the Iran-Contra page? -Derktar 00:59, Feb 3, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Arrest Warrant

Under History it states "Adnan Khashoggi continues to live a quiet life in the Principality of Monaco, even though a warrant for his arrest was issued in the Court of Her Majesty the Queen of England in the amount of 7 Million sterling pounds.". That is incorrect, as England is only a territory of the U.K. even though the government seat is located there the official title of the her majesty's government is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland so it should read "A warrant for his arrest was issued in the Court of Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland."

[edit] Possible Slander/Vandalism

'He was named in the News Of The World as a client of Heather Mills McCartney when she allegedly worked as prostitute' Since there is no mention of this in her web page ( but she did do some nude modelling ) and there is no reference for this statement either it should be rewrittern or removed IMHO. 145.253.108.22 17:00, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] landmines campaign?

Does no one see the irony in Princess Diana campaigning against landmines, yet planning to marry into this family? It's not like Khasoggi was the rogue uncle that everyone disowned; he was quoted as warmly welcoming Diana into the family. How could she have not known?
