Canada: ISIS bride freed, but can’t possess

bomb-making instructions for eight months

NOV 9, 2023 4:30 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER

That’ll fix everything. Surely within eight months, this Islamic State jihadi will have learned to become a loyal, stable, productive member of Canadian society. It probably won’t even take that long!

B.C. woman who married ISIS fighter, repatriated from Syrian camp

granted peace bond

Canadian Press, November 8, 2023:

CHILLIWACK — A judge has placed a terrorism peace bond on a B.C. woman who was repatriated to Canada last year from a Syrian prison camp after she married an ISIS fighter.

Chilliwack provincial court Judge Kristen Mundstock ruled Kimberly Polman must follow several conditions while under bond, including reporting to a parole officer, remaining at her current Squamish address, wearing electronic supervision equipment and not leaving the province.

The order also includes conditions that Polman have no contact with several people, such as her ex-husband, that she not drive vehicle except an electronic bike and that she not communicate with anyone suspected to be involved in terrorism.

“You must not possess any knives or any other sharp-bladed instrument used, designed to be used, or intended to be used to cut things,” the order said of another condition facing Polman. “The exceptions are: A. You can possess a knife when preparing and eating food. B. You can possess these items inside the place where you live and regularly sleep.

“You shall not possess any information, electronic or otherwise, that explains how to make or use an explosive substance.”

The court order is effective as of Tuesday and will last for eight months.

Polman and another woman were returned to Canada in a year ago from the detention camp in Syria that is holding mostly women and children who were rounded up after the fall of the extremist Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, an al-Qaida splinter group.

She was arrested on her return to Canada but had been out on bail pending the bond decision, which, if breached, could result in a prison sentence….

Of course, we know what ISIS people are like, they can surely be counted on to honour the conditions of a peace bond, unless they are busy cutting someone's head off.

Top cleric among 18 killed in Afghanistan mosque blast

Fri, 2 September 2022 at 3:44 am

A suicide bomber struck one of western Afghanistan's biggest mosques Friday, killing at least 18 people including an influential imam who this year called for those who commit "the smallest act" against the government to be beheaded.

Images posted on Twitter showed what appeared to be blood-stained bodies scattered around the compound of Gazargah Mosque in the city of Herat.

Violence has largely declined since the Taliban returned to power last year, but several bomb blasts -- some targeting minority communities -- have rocked the country in recent months, many claimed by the jihadist Islamic State (IS) group.

At least 18 people, including prominent pro-Taliban cleric Mujib ur Rahman Ansari, were killed and 23 wounded in Friday's suicide attack, said Hameedullah Motawakel, spokesman for the governor of Herat province.

"The bomber came near Ansari and then set off his explosives-laden vest," Motawakel told AFP.

Deputy Prime Minister Abdul Ghani Baradar, who had met Ansari just hours earlier in the day at a separate gathering in Herat, condemned the cleric's killing.

"A strong and brave religious scholar of the country was martyred while performing Friday prayers," Baradar said on Twitter.

"The perpetrators of this heinous act will be punished."

No group has so far claimed the attack.

Ansari, who was in his late 30s, was an influential cleric known for his fiery speeches.

In July, during a religious gathering in Kabul, he strongly defended Afghanistan's new Taliban rulers.

"Whoever commits the smallest act against our Islamic government should be beheaded," he said.

"This (Taliban) flag has not been raised easily, and it will not be lowered easily."

Even before the Taliban returned to power in August 2021, the ultra-conservative cleric had been calling for women to be fully covered in public, and for bans on musical concerts in Herat.

In his speeches, he regularly launched tirades against the previous US-backed governments.

'BITTER & TWISTED' I met ISIS bride Shamima Begum to get inside her mind

a chilling text message changed my whole opinion of her

Andrew Drury, Richard Ashmore

21:00, 4 Sep 2022, Updated: 22:22, 4 Sep 2022

FEW people have a hotline to Britain’s most notorious IS bride.

But as a journalist and filmmaker travelling to some of the world’s most perilous countries, for a year I got closer to Shamima Begum than anyone else.

During our time together, the 23-year-old, who was born and raised in East London, thought she could manipulate me into thinking she is a victim of trafficking.

But after extensive face-to-face meetings and a slew of bizarre text messages, I am convinced she is a bitter, twisted character with deep psychological problems.

How could she be anything other than a bitter, twisted character with deep psychological problems?

Astonishingly, she told me the death of her three children “doesn’t make me feel sad any more”.

And she callously blamed the bloodshed in Ukraine for turning the media spotlight away from her.

She told me via WhatsApp: “I think the world’s eyes are all on Ukraine so even if I put something new out it’ll get buried quickly.”

I visited Al-Roj camp in north east Syria four times to see Shamima and her fellow inmates. I wanted to work out why they had decided to turn their backs on Western society in 2015 and join a murderous death cult.

It is a journey that has been thrust into the spotlight again, with new claims that she was “smuggled” by an intelligence agent for Canada.

At times Shamima seemed much like any young woman of her age. She is a fan of Will Smith, told me she enjoyed watching Louis Theroux documentaries and asked me to bring her sports bras from the UK.

There is much more on this story at the Scottish Sun.

I think I find myself just a little bit more empathetic to Shamima than the writer of this article. After all, she was just 15 when she became an ISIS bride. With 3 children and 2 close friends that she brought into that hellhole, only to die shortly thereafter, it's no wonder she is severely messed up.

JORDAN IS PALESTINE – A LEGAL ANALYSIS

written by Ted Belman July 19, 2022 

Originally published on Israpundit.org

San Remo Conference 1920

Yes, Jordan is Palestine.

The Arab propaganda machine aided and abetted by the UN, EU, US and the main stream media, which is just about everybody, would have you believe otherwise.

They demand that the Palestinians living in Judea and Samaria and Gaza be granted statehood on all lands not controlled by Israel when the cease fire lines were agreed upon in 1949. This is referred to as the Two-State Solution. This solution is at the heart of the Arab Peace Initiative which was agreed to in 2002 at the Beirut Summit which provided:

“(a) Complete withdrawal from the occupied Arab territories, including the Syrian Golan Heights, to the 4 June 1967 line and the territories still occupied in southern Lebanon; (b) Attain a just solution to the problem of Palestinian refugees to be agreed upon in accordance with the UN General Assembly Resolution No 194. (c) Accept the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state on the Palestinian territories occupied since 4 June 1967 in the West Bank and Gaza Strip with East Jerusalem as its capital.”

Like most peace plans since, it was based on a deliberate misreading of 1967.UN Security Council Resolution 242.  This resolution did not require Israel to withdraw from all lands “occupied in the ’67 War and it allowed Israel to remain in possession of said lands until she had “secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force”.

This resolution also included this preamble,  “Emphasizing the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war and the need to work for a just and lasting peace in which every State in the area can live in security..“..

None of those principles were mentioned in 1949 when Jordan acquired Judea and Samaria by war and Egypt acquired Gaza by war. No one asked them to give it back and the boundary established was not intended to be permanent. It was merely the agreed upon ceasefire lines. The ’67 War was a continuation of Israel’s War of Independence. But this too was ignored by the Security Council.

Obviously, not requiring Israel to withdraw from all territories and requiring secure and recognized boundaries flies in the face of this preamble.

Not only that, while the UN Charter provides for the “inadmissibility of the acquisition of land by war”, international law allowed for the retention of land acquired in a defensive war, which the ’67 War undoubtedly was.

Nowhere in this resolution is a Palestinian state mentioned.

But that is not the whole story.

The lands in question were not somebody else’s land but Israel’s own land. This fact was totally ignored by the Security Council in passing it.

Professor Eugene Kontorovich is the head of the international law department of the Kohelet Policy Forum.. He answers the question, “how can the legal position of Judea and Samaria [West Bank] be defined?”, in Israeli rule in the West Bank is legal under International Law.

“The question that should be asked is: What were the borders of Israel when it was first established? What defines this is the borders at the moment of independence. Israel was created, like most countries, after a successful war where no one came to its aid. In international law, there is a clear rule regarding the establishment of new countries: the country’s borders are determined in accordance with the borders of the previous political entity in that area. So, what was here before? The British Mandate. And what were the borders of the British Mandate? From the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River.”

Thus, he argued, Israel liberated its own territory in 1967.

But even that doesn’t complete the story.

The San Remo Resolution passed in 1920 provided;

“The High Contracting Parties agree to entrust, by application of the provisions of Article 22 (of the League of Nations Charter), the administration of Palestine ….The Mandatory will be responsible for putting into effect the declaration originally made on November 8, 1917, by the British Government, and adopted by the other Allied Powers, in favour of the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.”

The San Remo Resolution is the subject of research of international law scholar and lawyer, Jacques Gauthier, Ph.D.  Gauthier, who is Christian, spent a quarter-century researching and writing a 1,300-page thesis to investigate legal ownership rights of the ancient-modern capital city.

Through San Remo, a legal document,  Gauthier explained. “The Jewish people have been given the right to establish a home, based on the recognition of their historical connection and the grounds for reconstituting this national home,”

The Palestine Mandate included both sides of the Jordan River and was passed in 1922 by the League of Nations. It should be noted that the Mandate as passed violated the rights given to the Jews at San Remo in that it restricted their homeland to the lands west of the river. But all of the land was managed under the same Mandate.

The Mandate included this recital.  “Whereas recognition has thereby [i.e. by the Treaty of Sèvres] been given to the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine, and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country”

Upon the signing of the Mandate, the Jews were entitled to a state on all the lands of the Palestine Mandate lying west of the Jordan River..

ARTICLE 5 of the Mandate read,.

“The Mandatory shall be responsible for seeing that no Palestine territory shall be ceded or leased to, or in any way placed under the control of the Government of any foreign Power.”

Nevertheless, Britain tried to partition the lands between Arabs and Jews as set out in the Peel Commission Report in 1937 in violation of the rights of the Jews under the Mandate.

The United Nations came into being in 1945 in place and stead of the League of Nations. Article 80 provided :

“…  nothing in this Chapter shall be construed in or of itself to alter in any manner the rights whatsoever of any states or any peoples or the terms of existing international instruments to which Members of the United Nations may respectively be parties”.

Thus the rights of the Jews were preserved. The Jordan Option seeks to uphold those rights.

Nevertheless, Britain got the General Assembly to pass the Partition Plan in 1947, again, violating those rights.

Jordan declared independence in 1946 and Israel did in 1948.

The War for Independence (1948-1949) ended with a ceasefire agreement and the ceasefire lines became the de facto borders of Israel. Jordan thus acquired Judea and Samaria and the eastern part of Jerusalem including the Old City.

Jordan annexed these lands in 1950 calling them the West Bank of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan..

In the article How Arab Rulers Undermined a Palestinian State, recently published by Middle East Quarterly, the authors wrote:

“Jordan has ruled over more Palestinians than any other Arab state, especially during its occupation of the West Bank between 1948 and 1967. In these years, the kingdom became home to some 368,000 Palestinians who fled the 1948 Arab-Israeli war,[2] and the government systematically erased all traces of a distinct Palestinian identity in an attempt to create a wider Jordanian national identity.

“A decade later, Abdullah’s grandson and successor King Hussein declared his firm opposition to the idea of a separate “Palestinian entity,” convening a conference in January 1960 of Hashemite loyalists to denounce the “despicable innovation” of the establishment of a Palestinian entity.

Thus it may be said that during this period, 1948 to 1967, Jordan was Palestine, no ifs, ands or buts.

Jordan is still Palestine only with the Jordan River as the western boundary and most people living in Jordan are Palestinians.

In order to make this a reality King Abdullah II must abdicate and the Palestinians must take control of their country.

Man armed with knife ‘neutralized’ by French police

after threatening officers

A knife-wielding man who attempted to attack police in a northwestern suburb of Paris has been shot by officers. The attacker allegedly shouted “Allahu Akbar”. No other casualties have been reported from the incident.

The attacker held “a knife in [his] hand” and threw a bottle at a group of police officers during a routine traffic check in the Parisian suburb of Colombes, a police source told Le Figaro. The man threatened the officers and shouted "Allahu Akbar", the source added.

Police shot the attacker before he could approach them. The man, whose identity has not been revealed yet, was taken for emergency medical treatment but later succumbed to his injuries, French media reported.

The man was allegedly known to the police, but not to the security service tasked with handling radicals. There was also no file on him in the French database containing information on radical Islamists, a source told AFP.

A second investigation has been initiated to verify if there were sufficient grounds for the police to discharge their weapons. The suspect, reportedly aged 31, was previously known for customs, drug and road traffic offenses.

The police actions were commended by French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin, who said in a tweet that he “salutes the coolness of the Colombes police officers.”

The minister added that France “must remain vigilant … more than ever.”

A Muslim with so little respect for the law should probably have been referred to the security service that monitors radical Islam, at least for investigation.

A lunatic throwing things at a group of police and yelling Allahu Akbar, while holding a knife is sufficient grounds for the police to discharge their weapons, IMHO. They certainly should not have to wait for him to stab someone before taking him out. He'll be happier now anyway in Paradise with 72 virgins!

‘Kidnaping’ trial of ex-Italian interior minister Salvini, who barred

cross-sea migrants from entering country, begins in Palermo

Former Italian interior minister Matteo Salvini is facing up to 15 years in prison in a controversial trial over his 2019 order to prevent migrants picked up by NGOs while crossing the Mediterranean Sea from entering Italy. 

The trial, which started on Saturday in Palermo, is about one particular incident among dozens that happened during Salvini’s tenure as interior minister. It concerns his refusal to allow 147 migrants to disembark in Lampedusa in August 2019. The stand-off lasted for about 19 days before a court overruled a ban on private rescue ships entering Italian waters.

Salvini is the leader of the right-wing, anti-immigration Lega Nord (North League) party. He held the offices of deputy prime minister and interior minister in an unorthodox coalition government with the left-wing Five Star Movement (M5S) at the time his alleged crimes occurred. He is accused of abusing his power and kidnapping the migrants and may face up to 15 years in prison if convicted.

The trial was initially scheduled for September 15, but was postponed for over a month so that a larger courtroom could be found to accommodate more people interested in the procedures, including journalists. 

A defiant Salvini tweeted a photo from the scene, saying his prosecution was “required by the left and the fans of illegal immigration”. Ahead of the hearing, he said illegal migrants were arriving in Italy by their hundreds under the current government and that he was simply doing his duty as interior minister when he attempted to stop the inflow.

Salvini said the policy to block migrants was approved by the entire cabinet, including the then-prime minister, Giuseppe Conte, who is now the leader of M5S. Conte, Interior Minister Luciana Lamorgese and Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio are scheduled to appear as witnesses during the trial.

Actor Richard Gere, who helped deliver food to people on board the stranded ship, which was operated by the Spanish NGO Open Arms, previously agreed to testify as well. It’s unclear if he will take the stand in Palermo.

Outside the courtroom, Open Arms founder and director Oscar Camps defended his operation. “Saving people isn’t a crime, but an obligation not only by captains but by the entire state,” he told journalists.

Opponents of such rescue missions say people who sail towards European shores in boats and rafts are economic migrants rather than political refugees who need protection. Many suspect NGOs like Open Arms of facilitating the flow, if not directly colluding with human traffickers in countries like Libya, who organize the rides for profit.

Many of Salvini’s supporters believe his trial to be politically motivated. The Italian parliament lifted his immunity from prosecution in February 2020, long after the Lega-M5S government collapsed. Lega Nord was in opposition to the second Conte government, which was in power at the time. Senators from Salvini’s party boycotted the vote.

In May, a court in Sicily dismissed a similar “kidnapping” case against the former interior minister, which stemmed from a separate episode. The case involved a coast guard ship carrying migrants that was kept from docking in the port of Catania for six days in July 2019.

Sudan’s military fires ‘live bullets’ at protesters backing civilian govt,

information ministry says, after forces stage coup

Tens of thousands have taken to streets in Sudan's capital Khartoum and the city of Omdurman, after troops arrested the prime minister in a coup. The Ministry of Information claims troops have fired on pro-government protesters.

The streets of Khartoum and Omdurman were full of protesters on Monday after the Ministry of Information relayed a plea from detained Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok. "Occupy streets to defend the revolution," the ministry posted on its Facebook page, allegedly echoing a message shared with the government department by Hamdok. In a statement shared with Reuters, the ministry also said it is inviting everyone to march "until the coup attempt is brought down."

Footage shared online shows that Sudanese citizens responded to the plea of their transitional government, which was formed in 2019. As people marched through the streets, gunshots can be heard echoing around Khartoum and the adjacent city of Omdurman while smoke can be seen rising across the cityscape. 

Other videos show residents of the capital and the twin city of Omdurman starting fires in the road and creating obstacles, in apparent efforts to halt the movement of troops. 

Reports also suggest that demonstrators were able to breach the outer barrier of the military HQ in the capital. 

In a series of Facebook posts, the information ministry said that the military had fired on protesters and that casualties were expected. Its officials stated that the people of Sudan had clearly rejected the attempted coup and that there were tens of thousands of people on the streets.

Early on Monday morning, Hamdok and his wife, as well as Industry Minister Ibrahim al-Sheikh, and the governor of Khartoum Ayman Khalid, were detained by the military in the coup. The information ministry claims that Hamdok was removed to an undisclosed location after he'd failed to endorse the coup. 

In another statement shared by the Ministry of Information, the prime minister's office called on people to sustain their protest for the sake of defending the revolution.

Sudan has endured an uneasy peace since long-time leader, Omar al-Bashir, was removed from power in 2019 after months of popular protest. The country is being run by a Sovereign Council of military and civilian members, who have been frequently at odds with each other. They are tasked with overseeing the transition to democracy and Sudan's first elections in 2023.

German court sentences ISIS bride to 10 years in prison

for her role in murder of Yazidi ‘slave’ girl in Iraq

A German woman, who joined ISIS in Iraq, has been jailed for 10 years for letting a five-year-old Yazidi girl die of thirst. It is the first conviction related to the terrorist group’s persecution of the religious minority.

A Munich court handed its verdict to Jennifer Wenisch on Monday. The 30-year-old faced several charges, including murder, murder as a war crime, membership of a terrorist organization, and violation of the German War Weapons Control Act.

The woman was facing the prospect of life in prison due to the severity of the accusations against her, but was ultimately sentenced to 10 years.

Prosecutors said that Wenisch and her husband – Islamic State militant Taha al-Jumailly – “purchased” a Yazidi woman and her five-year-old daughter during their stay in the terrorist stronghold of Mosul, Iraq back in 2015.

The pair used the captives as household “slaves.” But when the small child got sick and wet her mattress, al-Jumailly “chained her up outside as punishment and let the child die an agonizing death of thirst in the scorching heat.”

Wenisch was there when it all happened, but “allowed her husband to do so and did nothing to save the girl,” the prosecutors insisted in the charge.

Al-Jumailly has also been detained and is currently on trial in separate proceedings in the city of Frankfurt. His verdict is expected to be announced in November.

The mother of the late Yazidi girl, who is also in Germany, had testified on several occasions against both the IS man and his wife.

Wenisch said during the trial that she failed to protect the child because she was “afraid” that her husband would “push her or lock her up.”

Her defense questioned the credibility of the testimony by the girl’s mother, insisting that no proof that the child actually died had been presented. The lawyers were looking for Wenisch to get away with just a two-year suspended sentence for supporting a terrorist group.

Wenisch reportedly converted to Islam in 2013 and traveled from Germany to Iraq two years later, taking a route through Turkey and Syria. While in Mosul, she allegedly became a member of Islamic State’s ‘hisbah’ morality police, patrolling the streets with an AK-47 and making sure the strict dress-code and ban on alcohol and smoking were observed by citizens.

In 2016, when the Iraqi government – backed by US forces – started a major offensive on Mosul, Wenisch tried to apply for a new ID in the German embassy in Ankara, but ended up being arrested right after leaving the mission and was later extradited to Germany.

The Yazidis are a Kurdish-speaking ethnic and religious minority living in northwest Iraq as well as parts of Syria, Turkey and Iran.

Islamic State radicals considered them heretics due to their beliefs, which combine several ancient Middle Eastern religions, and harshly persecuted the group.

The terrorists allegedly murdered thousands of Yazidi men, while abducting women and young girls. They were turned into slaves, with the children forcibly converted to Islam and forbidden from speaking Kurdish.

More than 6,400 Yazidi men, women, and children were kidnapped when IS overran Mosul in June 2014, with many of those still remaining in captivity, according to Hussein Qaidi, head of the Office for Yazidi Abductees Affairs.

Two Polish border guards hospitalized as migrants stuck in no man’s land

on Belarusian frontier for months attempt to storm fence

25 Oct, 2021 13:13

Two Polish soldiers have been taken to hospital after asylum seekers staged an assault on the frontier with Belarus, throwing stones at the border fence. The group of migrants has been stuck in no man’s land for over two months.

According to the Polish Border Guard, the “attempts of violent crossing into Poland were thwarted.”

“Over the weekend, two attempts at a border assault were recorded. Aggressive groups of about 60 and 70 people threw stones and branches at border guard officers and soldiers of the Polish army. Two soldiers were hospitalized,” a statement said.

One of the soldiers was hit by a branch, and the other with a stone, both in the face. Warsaw has accused Belarusian soldiers of working with the asylum seekers, suggesting they were wearing civilian clothes to blend in.

Despite its EU obligations, Poland is refusing to accept asylum seekers crossing the border from Belarus. It is refusing to allow in a large group of immigrants from the Middle East, despite the fact they have a lack of food and other provisions.

The difficult situation on the border began after Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko warned his country would no longer make any effort to stop illegal immigration. Warsaw has claimed that Minsk has flown in people from abroad and is shuttling them to the border as a form of warfare. Since the beginning of 2021, more than 23,000 migrants have tried to cross the Polish-Belarusian border, causing Warsaw to declare a state of emergency and boost its troop presence.

The latest situation comes just a week after Polish border guards filmed asylum seekers trying to break down the border fence near Usnarz Gorny, a small village on the frontier.

Poland’s treatment of migrants from Belarus has been subject to criticism by human rights organizations, including London-based NGO Amnesty International. Last month, the group accused Warsaw of illegally stranding 32 Afghan migrants, leaving them without access to clean water, shelter, or medicine.

‘Threat to the planet’? Exiled Saudi spymaster claims

Mohammed bin Salman is ‘killer, psychopath’

in explosive interview

A former Saudi intelligence official turned regime critic claims that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is trying to kill him due to secrets in his possession, describing the ruler as a “psychopath with no empathy” on CBS.

Saad Aljabri, a former Saudi minister of state and close aide of ex-crown prince and intelligence boss Mohammed bin Nayef, has been in exile since 2017. He has repeatedly alleged that Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) is plotting to kill him. Aljabri fled Saudi Arabia for Canada after MBS ousted bin Nayef from his position.

Now, in a particularly explosive interview with CBS’ ‘60 Minutes’ show, Aljabri stepped up his claims against the Saudi kingdom’s de facto ruler. The show introduces Aljabri as having once been “among the best friends America had against terrorism.”

“I am here to sound the alarm about a psychopath, killer, in the Middle East with infinite resources, who poses a threat to his people, to the Americans and to the planet,” Aljabri tells his interviewer, Scott Pelley.

MBS is “a psychopath with no empathy, doesn’t feel emotion, never learned from his experience. And we have witnessed atrocities and crimes committed by this killer,” he adds. The crown prince is allegedly holding two of the former high-ranking spy’s children and his son-in-law in captivity, trying to use them as a bargaining chip to make him return to Riyadh.

But the Saudi government insists that Aljabri is a financial criminal, who embezzled over $3 billion while working under bin Nayef. The ex-spymaster claims the reason for his massive wealth is that the Saudi monarchs had been “very generous” to him during his years of service. “It’s a tradition in the Saudi Arabian royal family. They take care of people around them,” he told CBS.

In order to support his claims about bin Salman’s rogue nature, the ex-intelligence official shared a story of how MBS once boasted he could poison the then-king Abdullah to clear the path to the throne for his father. Aljabri claims the threat was made in 2014 during a meeting between bin Salman and bin Nayef, at which he was also present, but he adds he wasn’t sure if MBS was just boasting or revealing actual plans. Aljabri alleges that at least two recordings from that meeting remain and he knows where they are.

King Abdullah died in 2015 from what were said to have been natural causes, and MBS’ elderly father Salman, 85, became the new Saudi King. For the past four years, the real power has rested in the crown prince’s hands.

During this time, bin Salman established himself as a highly controversial figure. He eased some of the strict religious rules in the kingdom, allowing women to drive and opening up cinemas, among other measures. But at the same time, he ordered the arrest of numerous royal family members, loyal to bin Nayef, only allowing them to go free if they agreed to give up a significant part of their wealth. Riyadh has also continued its military operation in Yemen under bin Salman, which has been marred by accusations of indiscriminate airstrikes on civilians by the Saudi-led coalition.

It’s also widely believed in Western media that MBS was behind the brutal murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul in 2018. The vocal critic of the current Saudi monarchy was killed and dismembered during his visit to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul by what is said to have been a special hit-squad, which arrived in Turkey from the Gulf kingdom.

Aljabri insists that he faced the same fate as Khashoggi, but he managed to escape after one of his former colleagues told him about the threat.

“The warning I received, don’t be in a proximity of any Saudi mission in Canada. Don’t go to the consulate. Don’t go to the embassy. I said ‘Why?’ [They] said, ‘They dismembered the guy, they killed him. You are on the top of the list,’” Aljabri recalled.

He claims that a team of six people, sent by Riyadh, landed at Ottawa Airport in mid-October 2018. However, the agents couldn’t fulfil their task as they ended up being deported after lying to customs officers and carrying suspicious equipment for DNA analysis.

Bin Salman “fears my information,” Aljabri said, adding that he has plenty more damaging secrets about MBS up his sleeve. “I expect to be killed one day because this guy will not rest until he sees me dead,” he said, warning that if MBS’ men eventually get him, a special “death video” revealing those secrets will be instantly made public.

For now, Aljabri has asked journalists to take him at his word, as he’s presented no proof of his claims regarding bin Salman’s threat to assassinate the king or of a Saudi hit-squad being sent to Canada to murder him. The reason behind the timing of the 62-year-old’s interview also remains unclear. CBS said in its report that Aljabri’s interview showed “a measure of his desperation.”
