Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince and de facto ruler Mohammed bin Salman has authorized the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
The US intelligence investigation has revealed this information. The report was released by the Biden administration at midnight on Friday.
This is the first time the US government has publicly accused the Saudi prince of murder. Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist in exile in the United States, was brutally murdered at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, in 2018. His body was dismembered.
He was a fierce critic of the Saudi prince. Earlier, former President Donald Trump had denied the allegations in a statement issued Friday stating "Similar, baseless allegations concerning Yuvraj's activities have been made more than once. Approved.
Earlier, a United Nations report blamed the Saudi government for Khashoggi's assassination.
He is also going to limit arms sales to the country. At the same time, he has taken the initiative to limit contact with Mohammed bin Salman, who took over the post of Crown Prince through a coup. It is difficult to immediately understand the impact of the US report on the Saudi Crown Prince.
However, even if Yuvraj is able to cope with this push in the end, his leadership will be questioned at home and abroad, especially in the Muslim world.
