FP: Tell us about the close relations between the Al-Saud ruling family and the Wahhabis. What are the roots of this relationship?
Bradley: The relationship between the Al-Saud ruling family and the fanatical followers of Wahhabism goes back to the mid 18th-century, when a member of the Al-Saud dynasty and the founder of Wahhabism, Mohammed bin Abdul Wahhab, forged a pact. The Al-Saud needed the Wahhabi zealots as foot soldiers, or storm troopers if you will, as they set out to conquer hostile regions inhabited by non-Wahhabi Muslims. For their part, the Wahhabis wanted converts, and the booty that came from raids. Two Saudi empires rose and fell, until -- with collapse of the Ottoman Empire after WWI -- the Al-Saud finally managed to create a lasting state called the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the third Saudi empire which is still with us to this day.

Prince Bandar Bin Sultan resigns as Ambassador to US
RIYADH, 21 July 2005 — The Saudi ambassador to Washington, Prince Bandar ibn Sultan, has resigned from office after serving his country for two decades, a statement from the Foreign Ministry carried by the Saudi Press Agency said yesterday.
“After the long years served by Prince Bandar ibn Sultan as the ambassador for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the United States — which has exceeded 20 years and during which he served his religion, country, and the king — he has asked Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd to be relieved from his post due to personal reasons,” the statement said.
