Former Saudi Intel Officer: Crown Prince Wants Me Dead VOA News A former Saudi intelligence officer says the Saudi crown prince wants him dead and an assassination team dispatched to Canada to kill him was stopped by alert customs agents. Saad al Jabri said in a lawsuit filed Thursday in a U.S. federal court that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman wanted to silence him because he possesses "damning information" about the crown prince. The veteran officer said in his uncorroborated suit that a hit squad was sent to Canada where the former intelligence officer lives, just weeks after writer Jamal Khashoggi was killed in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. .
