Washington (CNN)The US intelligence report on the murder of Jamal Khashoggi says that Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman approved the operation to capture or kill the Saudi journalist.
"We assess that Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman approved an operation in Istanbul, Turkey to capture or kill Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi," the report's executive summary states.

"We base this assessment on the Crown Prince's control of decisionmaking in the Kingdom, the direct involvement of a key adviser and members of Muhammad bin Salman's protective detail in the operation, and the Crown Prince's support for using violent measures to silence dissidents abroad, including Khashoggi," the report says.
The Biden administration released the long-awaited declassified intelligence report on Khashogg's killing on Friday.



The administration provided the declassified report to Congress ahead of its public release.


The release of the report was mandated by Congress. It came after President Joe Biden and Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud spoke on Thursday.

Damn this killing is going to haunt MBS for the rest of his life. I doubt saudi arabia will want a killer as a king, he might not even become king due to the external pressure.

its sad that, how this killing only comes to light because Jamal was a dissent under American protection living in NATO soil.


The conduct of the Abu Shahi prince against the Pakistani trader is still fresh in our minds. Ganja nawaz said nothing .

 

[maverick1977]

nope, Saudia has opened up to China for 2030 vision and its tech companies have made inroads, this is a pressure tactic i think... you find dirt you sure want to keep the other person in line

US seeing a lot of gains and influence in KSA. May be MBS was the guy who resisted Israeli recognition pressure which came at cost at this time otherwise, CIA would have known it since day First but kept under wraps for this time. Apparently, US would like to use situation against KSA remaining resistance and sovereignty but to bow down fully. Having said that, choose your friends wisely and carefully.

There will be a civil war in Saudi soon... Because this foolish MBS will revert to his dictatorial tendencies and not give up power so easily.

He is just another Sadam in towel clothing...

I doubt there will be a civil war but all this pressure from the west will never benefit saudi arabia.
Other's in power now have a concrete reason on why MBS shouldn't be the king.
But i think it would be better for Pakistan for him to be king. It might give us some leverage over saudi arabia in response we'll support him.

Yes, may be by ordering usa army to leave saudia and ask russia to come in saudia who knows.
