As a man with a lifelong passion for thoroughbred horseracing, the late Prince Ahmed bin Salman gained worldwide attention in May of 2002 when his horse, War Emblem, won the Kentucky Derby. He once said that winning the Kentucky Derby was “one of the main ambitions of my life.”

As much as Prince Ahmed was publicly and privately known as a man with a zest for life and a zeal for horses, he was also known to his wife and five children as a devoted husband and father. Prince Ahmed’s immediate family, in addition to his extended family and many friends in Saudi Arabia and the United States, were heartbroken when he passed away on July 22, 2002, at the age of 43. In September of 2003, their grief was compounded upon the publication of a book which claimed that Prince Ahmed had links to Al-Qaeda and advance knowledge of the 9/11 attacks. Although the allegations in the book were based on two “unnamed sources,” the conspiracy received a great deal of media attention and has since been retold in yet another best-selling book.

Without one shred of evidence, without one person having the courage or integrity to come forward to accuse him, the name and reputation of Prince Ahmed has been shattered. This site is dedicated to honoring, preserving and restoring his memory and clearing his name. It’s about one man, his family and the pursuit of the truth.
