U.S. report says Saudi crown prince approved Khashoggi murder

A declassified U.S. intelligence report released on Friday concluded that Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud approved an operation to "capture or kill" Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.

"We assess that Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman approved an operation in Istanbul, Turkey, to capture or kill Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi," read the report released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).

Saudi Arabia denied the crown prince was involved in the death of Khashoggi.
