ANLF was founded in Cairo in December 1962, through the merger of the National Liberation Front(جبهة التحرير الوطني) and the Free Princes Movement.
[3] The ANLF had a politically mixed membership, gathering Talal's Egypt-based Free Princes Movement, Nasserists, Ba'athists, the Beirut-based Organization of Saudi Communists and Shia religious leaders.
[2] Declarations in the name of ANLF were broadcast on Egyptian, Syrian and Yemeni radio stations, calling for the overthrow of the Saudi regime.
