Lawsuit alleges MBS tried to lure ex-spymaster’s family to harm

Al Jazeera  

Ex-spymaster claims MBS orchestrated plot to lure his family to Saudi consulate in Istanbul where Khashoggi was killed. Lawyers have filed an amended complaint in the US-based lawsuit against Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman containing allegations about attempts to “lure” an ex-spymaster’s family to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul and summons for two alleged members of the “Tiger” hit squad. The amended complaint, filed on Thursday on behalf of ex-Saudi intelligence officer Saad al-Jabri, claims MBS ordered a hit squad to assassinate al-Jabri in Canada, where he now resides, in 2018, but the attempt was “thwarted” by airport security. The new complaint adds additional claims, including that MBS “sought to lure” al-Jabri’s family to the consulate “just days before his Tiger Squad killers successfully executed Jamal Khashoggi inside the very same facility”. The complaint claimed that “the attempt to kill Dr. Saad, just like the completed killing of Jamal Khashoggi days before, was not a one-off incident, but rather the way Defendant bin Salman regularly operated in the years leading up to the fateful events of 2018.” MBS has denied the allegations and claimed sovereign immunity in the case.
