Saudi diplomatic correspondence published by the WikiLeaks group backs long-held suspicions the kingdom is using its oil wealth to buy influence with media and research centers across the Arab world. “Buying Silence,” was the Saturday, June 20, 2015, headline in Beirut’s pro-Hezbollah Al-Akhbar daily, which is critical of Saudi Arabia, describing the revelations in the cables. (AP Photo/Ahmad Omar, File)
