From Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. intelligence officials have concluded that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a U.S. official said Friday. The Saudi government has denied the claim.
The conclusion will bolster efforts in Congress to further punish the close U.S. ally for the killing. The Trump administration this week sanctioned 17 Saudi officials for their alleged role in the killing, but lawmakers have called on the administration to curtail arms sales to
Saudi Arabia or take other harsher punitive measures.
The U.S. official familiar with the intelligence agencies’ conclusion was unauthorized to speak publicly about it and spoke on condition of anonymity. It was first reported by The Washington Post.
Saudi Arabia’s top diplomat has said the crown prince had “absolutely” nothing to do with the killing.
COMMENT:-
"In response to this report, President Trump has announced crushing sanctions - Saudi Arabian royalty will now be required to pay the full 'rack rate' at all Trump hotels and will NOT be allowed to visit either Disneyland or Disneyworld and Saudi Arabia will no longer be able to purchase American weapons (unless they pay for them) - against Saudi Arabia."
