The report further states that the sole survivor and youngest son of Haj Jaber, Shaikh Khaz'al, succeeded his brother following his demise[1] [2] .Some other accounts state that he was assassinated by his younger brother, Khazal Khan, while others state that he was slain by a palace guard under orders from Khazal.[3]
