Prince Ahmed bin Abdelaziz, the youngest and only living brother of King Salman, has reportedly returned to the kingdom from London this week.

The 76-year-old is plotting to oust his nephew and the son of King Salman, Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman Al Saud, on his return, according to sources.

76 is a ‘youngest brother’?

Clean living, I guess.

The Turks, the muzzle brohood, and Qatar are fueling this...
ISIS was a very useful tool for them, and the Soros Cabal.

The young prince seems inclined to try to change Islam.
There are many that do not share his view.

that's what we should have done with the entire Bin Laden family after 9/11, instead of having the FBI shuttle them out of the country.

Yep. This one was inevitable. I highly doubt if anyone in the palace wasted a tear on a dismembered journalist.

I’m not sure the 76-year-old brother would be any worse than the prince, honestly. The Kingdom is basically predicated on exchanging your human rights for what passes for a middle class existence in the Middle East. I doubt it can be “reformed” in any real way so long as the House of Saud is still in charge of it.

The 76-year-old...

Young enough to be an anchor on 60 Minutes.
