Aljabri claims a friend warned him he could face a fate similar to that of Khashoggi
A former top Saudi Arabian spy has said the country’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman dispatched a feared team of mercenaries to kill him while in exile in Canada.
In an interview with U.S broadcaster CBS News’ “60 Minutes”, Saad Aljabri — formerly a top spy and interlocutor between the kingdom’s intelligence services and Western governments — alleged he was targeted after he fled the country following a 2017 power grab by the crown prince.
A friend at a West Asian intelligence service, he said, warned that he could face a fate similar to that of Saudi dissident and journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who, investigations have alleged, was murdered by a Riyadh-linked death squad after visiting the kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul in 2018.
