Kingdom Holding Company in an investment group headed by bin Tafel. Investmnts include Canary Wharf, some of the finest hotel chains, Walt Disney, Hewlett Packard, Ebay, Pepsico, News Corporation, etc.
It is a forward-looking group, supporting, among other things, Saudi women, Saudi charities, Humanitarian Foundation of Lebanon, Centers supporting studies and forums encouraging dialogue and reconciliation among the different world religions (where the NY group comes in), donations to groups fighting poverty, etc.
It has nothing to do with fundamentalism in Muslim groups.
