About Faisal of Saudi Arabia

Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (14 April 1906 – 25 March 1975) was a Saudi Arabian statesman and diplomat who was King of Saudi Arabia from 2 November 1964 until his assassination in 1975, during which time he ushered in a new era in the country's industrialization, agriculture, and other fields. Pan-Islamism, anti-communism, and pro-Palestinian nationalism were his key foreign policy themes. Prior to his ascension, he served as Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia from 9 November 1953 to 2 November 1964, and he was briefly regent to his half-brother King Saud in 1964. He was the third son of King Abdulaziz, the founder of modern Saudi Arabia, and the second of Abdulaziz's six sons who were kings.
