US intel finds Saudi prince ordered Khashoggi slayBy A Phome/News/World/US intel finds Saudi prince ordered Khashoggi slayWASHINGTON, D. C.: US intelligence officials have concluded that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, a US official said Friday (Saturday in Manila). Saudi Arabia’s top diplomat has said the crown prince had “absolutely” nothing to do with the killing. He was killed Oct. 2 at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul. The prosecutor’s announcement sought to quiet the global outcry over Khashoggi’s death and distance the killers and their operation from the kingdom’s leadership, primarily the crown prince. But it said he made the call at the direction the crown prince, and the call was intercepted by US intelligence.
