Tariq Alhomayed

Alhomyed has been a guest analyst and commentator on numerous news and current affair programs including the BBC, German TV, Al Arabiya, Al-Hurra, LBC and the acclaimed Imad Live’s four-part series on terrorism and reformation in Saudi Arabia.

Alhomayed received a Bachelor of Arts degree in media studies from King Abdul Aziz University in Jeddah.

From 2004, Asharq Al Awsat's Ombudsman wrote extensively including a number of highly critical articles, but these came to a sudden stop.

Alhomayed is widely criticised for publishing a series of vindictive articles about the State of Qatar between 2004 and 2008, a period that witnessed a disturbance in Saudi/Qatari official relations.

[3] Alhomayed's era witnessed some major Saudi-related stories being ignored or censored, such as the Saudi princess who was granted asylum in the UK after facing death threats in her country for giving birth to 'love-child' of a British citizen.
