Tiger Squad (Firqat el-Nemr)
mechanismBiotech & Transhumanism
Saudi Crown Prince MBS keeps a personal 50-man hit squad that flew to Canada to assassinate a former official days after killing Khashoggi.
Who they are
The Tiger Squad (Firqat el-Nemr), a 50-man personal mercenary group drawn from Saudi military intelligence and the Interior Ministry's criminal evidence department.
What they do
It's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's private enforcement unit, including forensic DNA experts.
How it works
Documented in the US federal lawsuit Aljabri v. bin Salman, the squad was deployed to Canada in October 2018 to assassinate former official Saad Aljabri, just days after murdering journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul.
Why it matters
The engine reads MBS's use of a personal squad bypassing the normal military chain as a sign he can't trust the broader security apparatus, revealing internal distrust at the top.
