A former officer in the Saudi security forces, Dr. Saad Al-Jabri, filed a lawsuit before an American court in which he accused the Saudi Crown Prince (Mohammed bin Salman) sent a special team to Canada to kill him.
The failed murder attempt against Dr. Saad Al-Jabri came days after the assassination of the opposition journalist (Jamal Khashoggi) in his country's consulate in Istanbul, according to the prosecution documents in the case.
Al-Jabri is a former Saudi intelligence official who was close to the former crown prince (Muhammad bin Nayef), and has lived in exile for more than 3 years under special security protection.
Who is Al Jabri?
Al-Jabri was for years the right arm of Prince Muhammad bin Nayef, the former crown prince who was viewed by the West with appreciation for his contribution to the suppression of al-Qaeda in the kingdom in the last decade of the last century. It was the link between Saudi intelligence and the American, British, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand intelligence services.
Al Jabri is a calm man with a PhD in artificial intelligence from the University of Edinburgh. Al-Jabri was promoted in government positions until he reached the position of Minister Member of the Council of Ministers, and obtained the rank of Major General in the Ministry of Interior.
But in 2015 everything changed with the death of King Abdullah, the half-brother of King Salman who succeeded to the throne and pushed his inexperienced son Muhammad to the position of defense minister.
Two years later, Muhammad bin Salman overturned a bloodless palace with the blessing of his father, so that he succeeded in removing the then crown prince Muhammad bin Nayef and assumed his position to become the second among the heirs of the throne after his father the king.
Bin Nayef remains in detention, and his property was confiscated. And those who worked with him in the Ministry of the Interior were removed from their posts. Then Saad al-Jabri fled to Canada.
The reason for the failed alleged attempt was that, according to prosecution documents, Canadian security personnel at Toronto Pearson Airport in Toronto suspected members of the assassination team while trying to enter the country.
The lawsuit, which includes 106 papers that have not been verified and is being heard by a court in the American capital Washington, accuses (Muhammad bin Salman) of trying to assassinate Al-Jabri with the aim of silencing him.
Al-Jabri, who is currently 61 years old, is a liaison between Saudi intelligence, British intelligence (MI6) and a number of Western intelligence services.
Al-Jabri says he was privy to "highly sensitive" information. The documents reveal that this information includes allegations of corruption and supervision of a team of personal mercenaries under the name of "Team Tigers".
Members of the "Tigers" team participated in the assassination of Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018, according to the case documents.
One of the lawsuit documents says, "In a few places, there is shameful information about Chen and condemns the accused Bin Salman more than he is aware of and the memory of Dr. Saad, and there are records made by Dr. Saad in anticipation of his killing."
"Therefore, the accused bin Salman wants to kill him and has sought to do so for the past three years," she added.
Al-Jabri fled his country to Turkey and then to Canada, just before the night of the arrest of a number of princes, wealthy people and businessmen at the Ritz Hotel in Riyadh in 2017.
Al-Jabri claims that bin Salman tried repeatedly to return him to Saudi Arabia, even sending him personal messages, one of which says, "We will definitely reach you."
Al-Jabri says that less than two weeks after Khashoggi's bloody assassination, the "Tiger Team" traveled to Canada on a mission to kill him.
The lawsuit papers say that the group that tried to enter Canada included a man from the same administration to which the accused of dismembering Khashoggi's body belonged and who was carrying a bag containing tools used in forensic medicine.
But Canadian security personnel questioned the team members and after interviewing them they refused to give them a visa to enter the country.
The lawsuit states that "Bin Salman actually sent a team of killers to North America with the aim of killing Jabri," and calls for the trial of the Saudi crown prince for attempting to kill him outside the law in violation of US law for the protection of torture victims and international law.
The Saudi government did not respond to requests for comment on these accusations.
Canadian Public Security Minister Bill Blair said he could not comment on this specific case, but he said that the Canadian government "is aware of incidents in which foreigners attempted to monitor, provoke and threaten Canadian citizens and residents on Canadian soil."
"We will never accept nor tolerate foreigners threatening Canadian national security or the security of Canadian citizens or residents," Blair added. Canadians must be confident that our security and intelligence agencies have sufficient capabilities, resources and skills to track down suspects, investigate them, and deal with these threats. "
And he added, "We will take the required measures to preserve the security of Canadians and residents who live among us in peace, and we invite everyone to report any danger they feel."
