Former top Saudi intelligence official Saad Aljabri tells 60 Minutes that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman keeps a team of mercenaries to kidnap—and even kill—political dissenters.

Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman uses a team of mercenaries called the "Tiger Squad" to carry out extrajudicial kidnapping and killings, a former top Saudi spymaster claimed to 60 Minutes in an interview.

Formerly the number two official in Saudi intelligence, Aljabri was a top adviser to Mohammed bin Nayef, the nephew of King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.

Aljabri told Pelley that Mohammed bin Salman formed his "Tiger Squad" in 2015.

Aljabri said he refused, telling bin Salman he would not do anything to damage the reputation of Saudi intelligence.

According to Saad Aljabri, Khashoggi was not the only target bin Salman dispatched his "Tiger Squad" to kill.

In his interview with 60 Minutes, Aljabri told Pelley that bin Salman sees himself in the likeness of another royal — Alexander the Great.

Aljabri said the first time he met bin Salman, the Saudi Crown Prince told him he wanted to be like the Macedonian king, who established one of the largest empires in the ancient world at a young age.
