King Fahd bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia has been secretly flown out of
the kingdom to his palace in Geneva, Switzerland, reports the private
intelligence service DEBKAfile based on Persian Gulf and Middle East
sources. 

The royal mobile hospital fitted aboard Boeing 757 HZ-HMED landed in the
private VIP section of the Geneva airport Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 
19.  A palace conclave led by Crown Prince Abdullah, who effectively
rules the kingdom, decided to remove the chronically ailing monarch to
safety, fearing he might be stranded in the middle of a military crisis
arising from the impending U.S.  offensive against international
terrorism. 

The royal hospital plane was accompanied by another craft of the royal
flight carrying the king’s family and entourage. 

Riyadh is reportedly concerned about the possibility of a major
terrorist attack on the royal palaces being sparked by the outbreak of
hostilities in Afghanistan or elsewhere, as the U.S.  prepares for a
major offensive against the forces of Islamic terrorist Osama bin Laden. 

A group of princes was therefore carried to a safe place in the
additional fleet of 10 royal aircraft that ferried members of the Saudi
royal family to Geneva.  More than a dozen Mercedeses waited on the
tarmac of Geneva International Airport to collect the royal arrivals. 

The Saudi royal airlift, which began Tuesday night, is still in
progress, according to DEBKA's sources.  Two more private royal planes
are expected in the VIP section of Geneva airport tomorrow. 

The Saudi royal family has long been concerned about the rise of Islamic
radicalism within its own kingdom.
