THREE senior members of Saudi Arabia’s royal family, including the king’s brother, have been arrested for unexplained reasons.
Two of the men were among the kingdom’s most influential figures.
The detentions are seen as Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman tightening his grip on power.
A controversial figure, Mohammed bin Salman has been considered the de facto ruler of the kingdom after he was named crown prince by his father in 2016.
The three men arrested were the king’s younger brother Prince Ahmed bin Abdulaziz, former crown prince Mohammed bin Nayef, and a royal cousin, Prince Nawaf bin Nayef.(BBC)
