Return of senior Saudi prince sparks speculation over role of MBS | Financial Times:

The return home of a senior Saudi Arabian prince has raised speculation of a rebalancing of power in the ruling family as it grapples with a political crisis caused by the killing of Jamal Khashoggi.

The return from London of Prince Ahmed bin Abdulaziz, a younger brother of King Salman, comes as questions are raised over the position of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the kingdom’s de facto ruler. Fears over his involvement in Khashoggi’s death, allegedly authorised by the prince’s close advisers, have cast doubt on his judgment and competence.

The government has pledged to hold those responsible for the killing to account.
