Saudi crown prince shot, injured in last month’s incident near palace: opposition activist |

[PRESSTV] A Saudi activist has revealed that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ... ![]() ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... as of 2016.... , who has not been seen in public over the past few weeks, was actually shot and injured in heavy gunfire reported from outside the royal palace in the capital Riyadh late last month. Nothing unusual here. This is the way Moslems have always discussed matters. Mohammed al-Mas’ari, the secretary-general of the Islamic Revival Party, citing reliable sources, said in a recent interview with Leb's al-Mayadeen TV that bin Salman was hit by bullets during the late April attack. He said the news of bin Salman’s injury was leaked by sources within the royal family before widely circulating on social networking websites such as Twitter. Elsewhere in his remarks, al-Mas'ari said the crown prince now plans to appear before the media in order to deny reports of a coup. A number of journalists in Riyadh reported heavy fire outside the palace compound on April 21. Although Saudi Arabia’s state news agency claimed it was a shooting down of a toy drone that had gotten too close to the royal property, some wondered if the gunfire was in fact a coup led by royals against King Salman ![]() . |

#3 I could have sworn that we had an article debunking this claim recently, or claiming to debunk it, but I can’t find it. |
