CIA investigation report based on multiple sources of information came to a conclusion that Saudi Crown prince is responsible for Journalist Khashoggi Murder. After examining multiple sources of intelligence, including a phone call that the prince’s brother – Khalid bin Salman, the Saudi ambassador to the United States had with Khashoggi, CIA expressed their findings that published in Washington Post.
A security official, Maher Mutreb, who has often been seen at the crown prince’s side, made the call to Saud al-Qahtani, a top aide to Prince Mohammed, to inform him the operation had been completed. This also leads the suspects on Saudi Prince’s involvement.
It is the strongest assessment to date linking Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler to the killing, and complicates Donald Trump’s efforts to safeguard US ties with one of the closest American allies in the region.
The crown prince has denied any involvement or knowledge of the murder of Khashoggi, a contributing columnist for the Washington Post. On 2 October this year he went to get a document for his upcoming marriage to his Turkish fiancée at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
