Failed Saudi Hit Squads: Ex-Intel Officials Claims Crown Prince Ordered Assassination of him Days after Khashoggi
Saad Aljabri has alleged Riyadh plotted to kill him in Canada back in 2018, just days after journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Aljabri claims his children have been taken hostage in retaliation.
(Imprisoned in 2020 for conspiracy and money laundering)The former intelligence official is accused of embezzling over $3 Billion from Saudi firms, along with former Crown Prince Nayef, and has been in exile since 2017.
Aljabri launched a lawsuit claiming a ‘kill team’ was dispatched for him in Canada just two weeks after the ‘same squad’ killed Khashoggi in October 2018. However, it’s reported border officials thwarted the alleged effort in Canada.
