A new lawsuit alleges that the crown prince of Saudi Arabia sent a hit squad to Canada to try to hunt down and kill a former top intelligence official.

 

The unproven suit was filed Thursday in the United States.

In it, Saad al-Jabri alleges Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman wants him dead because he knows too much.

Al-Jabri fled to Toronto two years ago and is a permanent resident of Canada.

The veteran Saudi government official claims border agents thwarted the assassination plot involving a group of mercenaries known as the “Tiger Squad.”

Neither the Saudi nor Canadian governments have commented on the allegations.
