Muhammad bin Nayef Biography

Muhammad bin Nayef is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on August 30, 1959 in Jeddah, Makkah Region, Saudi Arabia. The Prince, as chair of the Council for Political and Security Affairs was a key commander in Operation Decisive Storm which was the first major Saudi military operation of 21st-century.

In 1999, Muhammad bin Nayef became assistant interior minister for security affairs. Before this appointment, he was a businessman. His success in the Ministry’s counterterrorism program was widely recognized. He is also considered the architect of the government’s counter-insurgency programme. During his tenure as assistant minister, he was also the director for civil defense. He was regarded as an efficient assistant interior minister.

In 2004, he was appointed to the rank of minister, becoming number two at the Ministry of Interior. In October 2010, he warned the U.S. Deputy National Security Adviser of the 2010 cargo plane bomb plot. After the appointment of Prince Ahmed bin Abdulaziz Al Saud as interior minister upon the death of Prince Nayef in July 2012, Prince Muhammad became deputy interior minister.

The third attempt was on 27 August 2009. Muhammad bin Nayef was injured by Abdullah al-Asiri, a suicide bomber linked to Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Al-Asiri spoke to Muhammad bin Nayef a few days prior to the bombing, and expressed a desire to surrender himself to the authorities as part of the country’s terrorist rehabilitation program. This was apparently a plot to get admitted to the Prince’s palace. Al-Asiri is believed to have traveled to Jeddah from the Yemeni province of Marib. During Ramadan, al-Asiri waited in line at the Prince’s palace as a “well-wisher”. He exploded a suicide bomb, killing himself, but apparently only slightly injuring Muhammad bin Nayef, who was protected from the full force of the blast by al-Asiri’s body. The explosive device was hidden inside al-Asiri’s rectum and anal canal, which security experts described as a novel technique. Such a device has since come to be known as a surgically implanted improvised explosive device (SIIED), or body cavity bomb (BCB). Muhammad bin Nayef appeared on state television with a bandage around two of his fingers on his left hand. He stated, “I did not want him to be searched, but he surprised me by blowing himself up.”

Muhammad bin Nayef studied abroad. He attended courses at Lewis & Clark College, but did not earn a degree. From 1985 to 1988, he attended FBI security courses. He also trained with Scotland Yard’s antiterrorism units between 1992 and 1994.
