Who is Mohamed Akid?

Mohamed Akid was a Tunisian football forward who played for Tunisia in the 1978 FIFA World Cup. He also played for CS Sfaxien. The official version was that Akid was struck by lightning during a training session at his Saudi Arabian club Al Nasr Riyadh on 11 April 1979.

The circumstances surrounding the death have fuelled a controversy between his surviving family and the authorities. After revolution, his family has requested for an autopsy to determine the cause of his death. The autopsy on 18 July 2012 confirmed the presence of two shots in his body and the son of Akid confirmed the implication of the Crown prince Nayef bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud.
