Khalid al Mansour’s birth name is Donald Warden, a lawyer and black nationalist associated with the Black Panthers, whose founders Huey Newton and Bobby Seale he mentored.
He is an advisor to al-Waleed bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz al Saud, the guy whose check Rudy Guiliani refused to accept after 9/11 because it was an insult. Talal is known for funding islamic centers at US ivy league schools, and for having extensive dealings in Africa.
Thanks for the info about Prince al-Waleed bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz al Saud.
I tried to add his name as a FR keyword for future reference but couldn’t because it’s over 20 letters. Found some info here as to how to shorten it...
