When the hyper-wealthy ruler of the Middle Eastern emirate of Dubai found
himself embroiled in a British court case with the Jordanian princess who
was once his wife, he did more than hire top-shelf lawyers.
He also deployed high-tech software purchased from an Israeli company to
hack the cellphones of his ex-wife, two of her lawyers and three other
associates, according to court documents made public on Wednesday.Saad Aljabri says Mohammed bin Salman boasted he could kill former ruler King Abdullah
A former senior Saudi intelligence officer has claimed that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is a “psychopath with no empathy” who once boasted that he could kill the kingdom’s ruler at the time, King Abdullah, and replace him with his own father.
In an interview on US television, Saad Aljabri, who fled Saudi Arabia in May 2017 and is living in exile in Canada, also said he had been warned by an associate in 2018, after the murder of the journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, that a Saudi hit team was heading to Canada to kill him.
Aljabri told 60 Minutes on CBS he was warned “don’t be in a proximity of any Saudi mission in Canada. Don’t go to the consulate. Don’t go to the embassy.” When he asked why, he said he was told “they dismembered the guy, they kill him. You are on the top of the list.”
