RIYADH: The long-time personal bodyguard of Saudi Arabia’s King Salman was shot dead by a friend while at a private residence in the western city of Jeddah, in what the state broadcaster described as “a personal dispute”.

State media did not give details about the row that sparked the shooting on Saturday night of Major General Abdul Aziz al-Faghm, who was at another friend’s home in Jeddah’s al-Shatee district at the time, several km (miles) north of the palace where the king usually spends much of the summer.
