The crown prince is having anyone who might be a rival executed it seems in his bid to make sure he has total power.

So a typical week in Saudi Arabia?

I love that this happened like less then three days after this horseshit from Cuck Tom Friedman.

Friedman's probably a huge fan of the Thai junta, to be fair.

Speaking of, how's MBS handling Saleh getting murked? Is he tripling security to Hadi or bailing out?

One of the Saudi prisoners at the Ritz Carlton has died under torture, according to London-based newspaper Al-Quds Al-Arabi.

Major general Ali Alqahtani, who was detained in early November as part of an alleged anti-corruption drive, had been working in the royal guard forces.

He was the manager of the private office of Prince Turki Bin Abdullah, the son of former king Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz, according to the newspaper.

Alqahtani died on 12 December after being tortured with electric shocks, and his family struggled to recognise him after receiving his body, according to sources, the newspaper reported.

Looks like MBS did some good, after all.
