\"\"BBC \u2014 A US intelligence report has found that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman approved the murder of exiled Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The report released by the Biden administration says the prince approved a plan to either “capture or kill” Khashoggi.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The US announced sanctions on dozens of Saudis but not the prince himself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Saudi Arabia rejected the report, calling it “negative, false and unacceptable”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Crown Prince Mohammed, who is effectively the kingdom’s ruler, has denied any role in the murder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Khashoggi was killed while visiting the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey, and his body cut up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
