Ex-Saudi spy calls MBS ‘psychopath,’ threat to the US ahead of Biden visit

A former Saudi spymaster described Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, who the US says sent a hit squad to kill and dismember Washington Post writer Jamal Khashoggi, as a “psychopath” whose immense wealth makes him a threat to the United States and other countries around the world — as President Biden prepares for a much-anticipated meeting with the monarch later this week.

Saad Aljabri, once the number two official in Saudi intelligence, said the crown prince runs a vicious gang of mercenaries called the “Tiger Squad” that he uses to carry out kidnappings and killings, including the murder of Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018.
