Is it ok for one nation to send a hit squad to another?

News has just come out that Saudi Arabia sent a hit squad to Canada to kill former counter terrorism officer Saad al-Jabri. Saudi has a history of this, having killed Washington Post reporter and dissident Jamal Kashoggi in Istanbul in October 2018.

What should Canada do in reponse? Borealis weighs in.

The crown prince of Saudi Arabia sent a hit squad to Canada in an effort to hunt down and kill a former top intelligence official who knows too much, a civil suit filed Thursday in court in the United States asserts. The 106-page complaint, which reads like a spy thriller, accuses Mohammed bin Salman of orchestrating attempts to silence Saad al-Jabri, a permanent resident of Canada.
