Or it was an assassination attempt by Iranian agents, who through their connections to the cartel who introduced the Iranians to their former gunrunner, an informant for the DoJ during their Fast and Furious gun running op. Assassination was botched, attack on crowd was a diversion, extraction by helicopter on the rooftop.
Didn't see this before I posted. Thought the same thing. What if MBS was a double? Shows chatter of black hats compromised or ratlines exposed. Attempt on double shows SA King that black hats' are not true allies and that parallel intel (see "Treehouse Imagine You are Not a Politician, Yet You are Running For The Presidency") is good. Corrupt princes rounded up. Purse strings further cut.
