A Saudi Prince known by the name Mansour bin Muqrin was travelling with several officials when their helicopter fatally crashed, killing the prince and seven others. The crash occurred only one day after the crown prince, Mohammed Bin Salman, ordered the arrest of 11 royal cousins as well as almost 40 of the country’s most influential individuals.

As said on New York Daily News, “The Saudi-owned, Dubai-based satellite news channel Al-Arabiya reported seven other people also died in the crash. Prince Mansour was the son of Prince Muqrin Bin Abdulaziz, a former intelligence director and a one-time crown prince of the kingdom.”
