Saad al-Jabri, a former adviser to the Saudi crown prince and a former Saudi intelligence officer, filed a lawsuit in Washington against the crown prince accusing him of sending a team to assassinate him in Canada in order to obtain important records, two weeks after the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on the second October 2018.
According to the lawsuit documents, bin Salman sent a team to Canada to carry out an outlaw killing against al-Jabri, and that senior US officials were aware of the details of the assassination attempt.
In these documents published by Canadian media, quoting the local newspaper "The Star", the "Tiger Squad" that was charged with the assassination of Jabri, a former intelligence officer, tried to enter Canada with tourist visas obtained in May 2018, and was carrying two bags of Forensic tools, and they included an expert such as the forensic specialist who chopped Khashoggi.
The documents stated that the Canadian authorities suspected the team members, who tried to camouflage by claiming that they did not provide each other, and only allowed one of them to enter because he held a diplomatic passport.
The lawsuit also included the text of a letter from the Saudi Crown Prince requesting that al-Jabri return within 24 hours, or he would be killed, and it was also reported that Bin Salman believed that al-Jabri was behind a conclusion reached by the al-Jabri intelligence on the involvement of the Crown Prince in the assassination of Khashoggi.
It also states that bin Salman sent another team to assassinate Al-Jabri during his stay in Boston, USA, in 2017, and that he deployed a "secret agent network" in the United States in an attempt to track down the location of his former adviser.
Canadian media reported that the Saudi crown prince tracked his former adviser in the United States to assassinate him and obtain extremely important records, and indicated that the recordings contain dangerous information for publication in the event of the assassination.
The lawsuit filed by the former Saudi intelligence officer demands compensation from bin Salman and those close to him for masterminding the assassination attempt.
