Saudi Arabia reportedly detained two prominent members — Prince Ahmed
bin Abdulaziz al Saud, the brother of King Salman, and the king's nephew
Prince Mohammed bin Nayef bin Abdulaziz al Saud, who is known as MBN —
of the kingdom's royal family over allegations of a coup attempt.
The move further consolidates power for the king's son, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Both of the detainees, who had once been in line for the throne, are now reportedly under threat of lifetime imprisonment or execution, although the details of the alleged plot to unseat the king and crown prince aren't clear
