A US Intelligence report has found that Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler Prince Mohammed bin Salman approved the capture or kill of the exiled Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.
The murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi was a United States (US) resident who contributed opinion columns for the Washington Post. Khashoggi was critical of the policies of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
However, the Saudi government denied any involvement, issuing a statement rejecting the U.S. finding and that the crime has no involvement of the crown prince.
