1969 Saudi Arabian coup d'état plot

The 1969 Saudi Arabian coup d'état attempt was a failed coup d'état planned by numerous high-ranking members of the Royal Saudi Air Force that resulted in King Faisal ordering the arrest of hundreds of military officers, including some generals. The arrests were possibly based on a tip from an American intelligence agency. A previous coup attempt had also occurred against King Faisal in 1966.
