A meeting between the Saudi Arabian spy chief, Prince Bandar bin Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and the director of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency, Tamir Bardo, has infuriated Saudi authorities.

According to an unnamed source from the Saudi embassy in the Jordanian capital Amman, the meeting which took place in Jordan's Aqaba city elicited outrage from Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz.

Prince Salman had already advised the Saudi spy chief to indirectly consult the Israeli regime on strategic issues in the Middle East, the source said.

In the wake of the secret talks, Prince Salman ordered the prosecution of the spymaster.
