Saudi Crown Prince accused of assassination plot against senior exiled official
CNN ^ | Aug 6 | By Alex Marquardt

Washington (CNN) A former top Saudi intelligence official who fell out with the Saudi Crown Prince is alleging that an assassination squad traveled from Saudi Arabia to Canada to try to kill him just days after journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by members of the same group, according to a new legal complaint filed Thursday by the alleged target, Dr. Saad Aljabri, in DC District Court.

Aljabri accuses the Kingdom's powerful crown prince and defacto ruler, Mohammed bin Salman, known as MBS, of dispatching the hit team to murder him just over a year after Aljabri fled from Saudi Arabia and he refused repeated efforts by the Crown Prince to lure him back home or somewhere more accessible to the Saudis. Aljabri also names numerous alleged co-conspirators, including two of the men accused of being behind the Khashoggi operation.

MBS, according to previously unreported WhatsApp text messages referenced in the complaint, demanded that Aljabri immediately return to Saudi Arabia. As he repeatedly refused, Aljabri alleges the Crown Prince escalated his threats, saying they would use "all available means" and threatened to "take measures that would be harmful to you." The Crown Prince also barred Aljabri's children from leaving the country.

The Saudi government in Riyadh, the embassy in Washington and the Crown Prince's no-profit foundation did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The US national security community has been tracking the Crown Prince's vendetta against Aljabri "at the highest levels" according to a former senior US official.

"Everybody knows it," the former official said, "They know bin Salman wanted to lure Aljabri back to Saudi Arabia and failing that, that bin Salman would seek to find him outside with the intent to do him grave harm."

Mohammad bin Salman (Henceforth Crown Prince Mohammad): Son of King Salman. Currently next in line to be king after King Salman, current King of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).

Mohammed bin Salman, known as MBS, is suspected to be the Saudi prince hustled out of the top floors of Mandalay Bay during the Las Vegas Shooting Massacre on October 1, 2017.

The top floors of Mandalay Bay aren’t Mandalay Bay but are actually The Four Seasons, owned by billionaire Talal who was occupying that whole floor (32) that night.

Alwaleed bin Talal (Henceforth Talal): Billionaire businessmen. Grandson of King Saud. Has ties to DNC, Clinton, Podesta. Arrested 11/4/2017 for corruption. Owns The Four Seasons at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas (Four Seasons occupy the top floors of Mandalay Bay) Owns shares in Twitter as well as other high-tech silicon valley companies. Has had spats with Trump in the past.

.

Is Saad Aljabri the guy that was behind the plot to kill Mohammed bin Salman and the to date unexplained Las Vegas Shooting Massacre on October 1, 2017 was the cover for the assassins to go up one flight of stairs to get to MBS?

MBS is finally catching up to Aljabir?.

The plot thickens...

MBS is setting himself up for the civil war that happens when his father dies.

Saudi Arabia is an empire of the al-Saud family, who conquered other tribes in the 1910s-1920s. They first started out with the first Saudi empire in the 1790s when the Al-Saud family married into the Al-Wahhab family (yeah, that Wahabb) and set up the religious-political alliance with the Saudis promoting Wahabbism (a branch of Salafism or radical islamic belief as we see in the Taliban and the Islamic state).

All the Kings of Saudi Arabia since the 1920s have been the sons of King Abdulazziz ibn Saud - yeah, he had 70 sons and innumerable daughters. Yes, sons.

Now the third generation consists of 3000 princes who treat the country’s coffers as their personal bank.

MBS has no legitimate claim to the throne over the other princes - remember it was passed from brother to brother until now.

So expect the Saudi empire to disintegrate with MBS’s dad’s death

Yep Koshagi was done but this post was about Dr. Saad Aljabri. Still this stuff reeks of a Jack Ryan novel. last time I was in Dubai I felt like one misstep and I was dust.
