Middle East Eye's source said, "I know of another attempt, which was to lure Saudi dissident Omar Abdulaziz in Canada to the consulate and kill him, but Abdulaziz refused to go and the mission failed. Khashoggi was the first [successful] operation."[1] Abdulaziz, who had made a YouTube video satirizing the kingdom, said he was approached earlier in 2018 by Saudi officials who urged him to visit their embassy with them to collect a new passport. He said they said "it will only take one hour, just come with us to the embassy."
