A former senior Saudi security official has claimed that the kingdom’s crown prince once spoke of killing a sitting Saudi monarch before his own father was crowned king.

Saad al-Jabri, who resides in exile in Canada, said in an interview on CBS News’ 60 Minutes that in 2014, Prince Mohammed bin Salman boasted that he could kill then-King Abdullah.
