The Tiger Squad It was just after the horrendous murder of Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul that this name reached the ears of the public: The Firqat el-Nemr, or The Tiger Squad; a Saudi hit team under the guidance and supervision of this man, Mohammad bin Salman, the Saudi Crown Prince and de facto leader.

The squad is said to be made up of 50 operatives, the best ones recruited from different branches of the kingdom's security services who have one thing in common: blind loyalty to their leader. The Tiger Squad has one major mission: Eliminating Saudi dissidents at home and abroad in a way unnoticed by the media and the international community. In this regard, the Khashoggi case was a disaster for the group.
