The CIA has concluded that Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince ordered the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

The agency says Mohammed bin Salman ordered the assassination in Istanbul, the Washington Post reported on Friday, a finding that contradicts Saudi government assertions that he was not involved.

The Post said U.S. officials have expressed high confidence in the CIA assessment, which is the most definitive to date linking Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler to the killing and complicates President Donald Trump's efforts to preserve U.S. ties with one of the closest American allies in the region.

The C.I.A. made the assessment based on the crown prince’s control of Saudi Arabia, which is such that the killing would not have taken place without his approval, and has buttressed its conclusion with two sets of crucial communications intercepts of the crown prince’s calls in the days before the killing, and calls by the kill team to a senior aide to the crown prince.

The intercepts do show that Prince Mohammed was trying to find ways to lure Mr. Khashoggi back to Saudi Arabia, although the crown prince did not specifically say in the phone calls that he wanted to have Mr. Khashoggi killed, according to people briefed on the intelligence findings.

One former official said intelligence agencies were also examining communications between Mr. Khashoggi and the Saudi ambassador to Washington, Prince Khalid bin Salman, the brother of the crown prince.

Prince Khalid’s denial was unusually swift.

In a Twitter post on Friday, he said that “the last contact” he had with Mr. Khashoggi was by text on Oct. 26, 2017, and that he never suggested that Mr. Khashoggi go to Turkey.

Interesting

Khashoggi, 59, a mild critic of the crown prince, was killed and dismembered in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2 after making an appointment to collect papers for his upcoming wedding.

It comes as hundreds of people gathered to perform funeral prayer in absentia for Khashoggi at the Fatih Mosque in Istanbul.

Turkey has said the murder was carried out by a team of Saudis who travelled to the city for that purpose.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said the order came from ‘the highest levels’ of the Riyadh government, but stopped just short of pointing the finger of blame directly at the crown prince.

Turkey has also evidence that the team made international calls after the murder, he added.

This guy must be a ghost o. I thought the last they heard nor saw Khashoggi was Oct 2nd. How come Prince Khalid communicated with him via text on oct 26th?

Modified: date seen. I for fear o

Saudi prosecutors on Thursday announced indictments against 11 people and said a total of 21 individuals were in custody in connection with the killing.

Shalaan al-Shalaan, the kingdom’s deputy public prosecutor, requested the death penalty for five who ‘are charged with ordering and committing the crime and for the appropriate sentences for the other indicted individuals’.

But he exonerated Saudi’s de-facto ruler Mohammed bin Salman by laying ultimate blame for Khashoggi’s killing at the feet of two lesser officials.

Executions in Saudi Arabia are usually carried out publicly by beheading with a sword.

who else we order the killing if not the crown prince but what i can say is God what to use that man to expose all their atrocities that why all their claim keeps on contradicting turks evidence.

We all owe that debt.

How soon? Na you wan kill am?

It's always been a well known fact. That MBS guy is a dictator just like PMB,.. the only difference is that while the latter uses old, outdated methods in carrying out his own, the former is well-versed in the new technological and advanced methods of dictatorship.
My anger is that MBS will go Scot free in all this,.. Forget all the noise from the USA.

Spot on

Not a surprise at all.

Na wash. No be the same Erdogan of 'coup was a gift from god' fame'?

This Saudi prince lost his mind and acted dumb.
To trap an opponent in a country ' s consulate and kill him is a spit in the face of the world. It will not go way that easily. It can cause the demise of the Saudi ruling family.

I mean, who was really surprised at this news?
Unfortunately Trump has derided his own security intel once again and sided with Saudi Arabia since its "a dangerous world out there".
Life!
