Like its mammoth defense competitors Northrop and Raytheon--and unnamed others--Lockheed apparently has directed enormous sums to Saudi Arabia's flashy contract agent, Adnan Khashoggi, and his mysterious Triad Corporation. Lockheed officials reportedly payed Khashoggi $106 million in the last five years: the ante is high, but in the unreal world of big-money defense contracts, the stakes are higher still. In Europe, Africa and the Middle East, uneasy rulers are channeling huge sums into sophisticated weapons systems, and American companies are fighting with each other and with foreign competition to obtain slices of the increasingly lucrative...
...Northrop passed to Adnan Khashoggi, a wealthy Saudi Arabian entrepreneur, $450,000 designated for two Saudi Arabian generals, Hashim Hashim and Asad Zuhair, who served at different times as chief of the nation's air force.

...happens, Saudi Arabian Entrepreneur Adnan M. Khashoggi, 39, who has offered $14 million for a controlling one-third interest in San Jose's First National Bank, derives his millions not from oil but from a worldwide conglomerate which deals in real estate, autos and the construction of military installations in Saudi Arabia.

Adnan Khashoggi, 39, a U.S.-educated Saudi whose non-oil business empire already includes two small California banks, recently offered $14 million for a one-third interest in the First National Bank of San Jose. Armand Hammer, chairman of Occidental Petroleum Corp., disclosed last week that "one very prominent Arab," whom...
What followed was a suspense story with enough tension, surprise and heroism to make a palpable TV hit. One of the rebellious prisoners, for instance, was Adnan Ahmed Nuri, a Palestinian terrorist who was serving five years for hijacking and burning a British Airways VC-10 last March. Actually, the instigators were two Dutch criminals who were doing time for robbery. The fourth prisoner, an Algerian also convicted of robbery, appeared to be simply tagging along. With the Palestinian as front man, the quartet demanded, as the price for their hostages, a plane that would carry them to any Arab...
