Former Saudi official: Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is a “psychopath with no empathy”

• A former Saudi intelligence head called Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) a “psychopath.”
• MBS poses a threat to the US and other nations due to his enormous riches, according to Saad Aljabri.
• The Crown Prince, according to him, was a “killer” with “unlimited resources.”

Just a few days before US President Joe Biden is scheduled to visit the country, a former Saudi intelligence head called Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) a “psychopath” in a CBS News interview.

MBS poses a threat to the US and other nations due to his enormous riches, according to Saad Aljabri, a former top official in Saudi intelligence. The Crown Prince, according to him, was a “killer” with “unlimited resources.”

He continued by saying that MBS employs a ruthless group of mercenaries known as the “Tiger Squad” to carry out kidnappings and murders.

In an interview with CBS News that aired on Sunday, Mr. Aljabri stated, “I am here to sound the warning about a psychopath, killer, in the Middle East with boundless riches, who poses harm to his people, to the Americans, and to the planet.”

“A psychopath with no empathy, no emotion, and no experience-based learning. And we have seen the horrors and atrocities that this killer has committed,” he added.

Mr. Aljabri served as Mohammed bin Nayef’s longtime advisor before MBS succeeded him as Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince in June 2017. Then, out of dread for his life, Mr. Aljabri abandoned the nation and settled in exile in Canada.

According to the source, Mr. Aljabri filed a lawsuit against the Saudi Crown Prince in 2020 in a court in Washington, DC, claiming that MBS had sent a hit squad to kill him in Toronto two weeks after Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed in Istanbul.

The former spymaster told CBS that because MBS has access to secret information about the government and the royal family, he anticipated to be killed by him one day. Mr. Aljabri declared, “This guy won’t stop until he sees me dead.”

The Saudi embassy in the US responded to the interview by referring to Mr. Aljabri as a “discredited former government official with a lengthy history of lying and creating distractions to mask the financial crimes he perpetrated.”

The former Saudi intelligence chief “implies that stealing was normal at the time,” the embassy continued. However, it was unacceptable and illegal back then, and it still isn’t.

The interview takes place only a few days before US Vice President Joe Biden is scheduled to visit the kingdom. The meeting between Mr. Biden and the Crown Prince is anticipated to cover bilateral, regional, and international problems.
