Former Saudi intelligence official, Saad al Jabri, accuses Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of sending a hit-squad to Canada to kill him
Saad al Jabri , in this 2016 picture, fled Saudi Arabia in 2017, defecting to Turkey and then Toronto, where he resides.
People with knowledge of the situation told Reuters earlier this year that Jabri has access to documents containing sensitive information that MBS fears could be compromising. The Saudi government media office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the lawsuit. The Saudi embassy in Ottawa was not immediately available for comment.
The alleged incident took place less than two weeks after Saudi agents murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the kingdom’s Istanbul consulate. Turkish sources told Reuters a bone saw was used to dismember the journalist. Jabri’s family says MBS has detained two of his adult children and his brother to try to force his return.Long-time ally of US intelligence
