"Saad al-Jabri, for years one of Saudi Arabia's leading intelligence officials, has been fearing for his life since moving to Canada in 2017 and has been resisting pressure from MBS to go back to the kingdom, according to a New York Times report on Thursday citing his son, Khalid al-Jabri, and associates.

Khalid told the newspaper that his brother, sister and uncle have been arrested by Saudi security forces and held incommunicado since March.

"It has been weeks and we don't know where they are," he was quoted as saying. "They were kidnapped from their beds. I don't even know if they are alive or dead."

There was no comment by Saudi Arabia.

An expert in artificial intelligence, Saad held a number of top positions in Saudi Arabia and played a key role in its fight against al-Qaeda and security coordination with its ally, the United States.

His son and former US officials who worked with him say MBS wants to force al-Jabri to return to the kingdom
as he fears anyone outside of his control who has access to secret information, the Times reported.

Gerald Feierstein, senior vice president at the Middle East Institute in Washington, DC who dealt with al-Jabri while serving as the US ambassador to Yemen, told the newspaper that al-Jabri was acquainted with so many sensitive issues that he would know "where the bodies are buried", and possibly unflattering information about MBS.

Al-Jabri's intelligence career came to an end following the power struggle between MBS and Prince Mohammed bin Nayef (MBN), the former crown prince. He was out of the kingdom in 2017 when MBN was replaced as heir to the throne when King Salman elevated his son, MBS, to the role and gave him wide authority to become the kingdom's de facto ruler."

MBS is young, and once the King dies, he will be made King. Since he is only in his early 30s, he knows once he is crowned he will be King for years. Knowing that, he doesn't want anyone to challenge him at all. His rule for 50+ years. He knows now is the time to take out all his opposition. He is hiding behind his father, to do whatever he wants. Kill journalist, get rid of people who are a threat to his throne, whatever it takes. Get rid of anyone who has influence or can have influence against him.

Over half of the population of Saudis are atheists or very less religious. They are also young, less then 30 year old. All these "reforms" he is doing, mixing, bars, concerts, dissolving Islamic rule, etc is the please them. He will have half the population support when he does whatever he wants as King.
