A US court has issued a summons for Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman in a lawsuit from an ex-Saudi intelligence official, Saad Aljabri, who currently lives in Canada. The former intelligence official claims bin Salman attempted to murder him with a hit squad that came to Canada in October 2018.
The United States District Court of Columbia District told the Crown Prince and many other defendants listed by Saad Aljabri “you must serve on the plaintiff an answer to the attached complaint” within 21 days upon receipt.
The summons named 12 other defendants who according to Aljabri, were involved in the unsuccessful attempt on his life.
Recall that Aljabri recent filed court documents alleging that the “Tiger Squad” attempted to enter Canada on tourist visa and diplomatic visa in October 2018 in a bid to kill him.
Court documents say the hit squad was denied entry and the squad members were deported.
The court documents say: “Having failed to finish the job in Canada, (bin Salman) continues in his attempted extrajudicial killing to this day. In recent months, Defendant bin Salman obtained a fatwa directed at Dr. Saad — in this case, a ruling by religious authorities endorsing the killing of Dr. Saad.”
