But even for Crown Prince Mohammed, the detention of his uncle, Prince Ahmed, startled many analysts. Prince Ahmed had appeared for a short time in the fall of 2018 to be a potential rival to the crown prince. Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, a former crown prince and former interior minister who had close ties to American intelligence agencies, was also detained. Prince Ahmed, Prince Mohammed bin Nayef and Prince Nawaf were all arrested on Friday, according to three people familiar with the matter.
