As efforts to distance Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman from the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi intensify, UAE Crown Prince Mohammad bin Zayed al-Nahyans chief hitman in the region Mohammad Dahlan is said to have been hospitalized in Dubai with a broken neck, following a brawl that broke out on a luxury yacht in the oil-rich emirate after Dahlan refused to become the new scapegoat for the consulate murder.
At the yacht party held in honour of bin Salman, Dahlan allegedly got an offer to be the main actor of the Khashoggi murder, and was badly beaten by a team in Dubai after he refused.
Mohammed Dahlan, the former security chief for the Palestinian Authority who is also known as the hitman of the Middle East, was the main mediator between the UAE government and an assassination squad in Yemen.
Khashoggi, a frequent contributor to The Washington Post, was killed on Oct. 2 inside the Consulate of Saudi Arabia in Istanbul.
