Saudi Prince Defends Gadhafi Deal in UK Court A prominent member of the Saudi royal family is defending his handling of the 2005 sale of a jet to the late Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi in a London court. Prince Alwaleed bin Talal is being sued by a Jordanian businesswoman who claims she is owed a commission of 6.5 million pound2 ($9.9 million) for helping arrange the sale. Appearing in the High Court, he denied that he had agreed to pay a specific commission to consultant Daad Sharab. She claims the prince, a nephew of King Abdullah, agreed to the commission during a meeting at Gadhafi's tent in Libya. Alwaleed's wealth is estimated in the billions, but he told the judge Friday that "every dollar counts for me."
