FULL TITLE: CIA reportedly determines Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the killing of Jamal Khashoggi
The CIA has determined that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, The Washington Post reported Friday citing people familiar with the matter.
Officials told the Post that the CIA has a high degree of confidence in its finding.
The conclusion counters Saudi Arabia's explanation for Khashoggi's death. The kingdom claimed that the Washington Post columnist died in an altercation at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul last month.
The Post reported that the CIA looked into a phone call between the crown prince's brother, who also serves as the Saudi ambassador to the U.S., Khalid bin Salman and Khashoggi. Sources told the Post that during that call, Khashoggi was directed to pick up documents at the consulate.
While the Post said it was not clear whether Khalid bin Salman knew that Khashoggi would be killed, sources told the Post that he made the call at his brother's request.
Saudi Arabia's account of what happened to Khashoggi changed over time. Days after Khashoggi went missing, the crown prince told Bloomberg that the journalist left the consulate shortly after arriving.

I remember when the CIA didn’t do press releases.
Who believes the “so competent” CIA?
I have the same amount of trust in the CIA as I do in the Saudis!!!!
“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn!”
It’s important now for the Deep State to undermine official US foreign policy...
Is the guilty party trying to set up the CP? Time to look into the possibility.
Sounds like a sand people problem. Best of luck to them in solving it.
Yawn.
A dead terrorist across the pond.
Maybe he should have devoted his life to something other than the Muslim Brotherhood.
and Hillary did nothing wrong.
The same CIA in bed with Deep State?
SNORT.
Is that like the CIA's high degree of confidence in WMDs in Iraq?
Good job Crown Prince, get some more Islamists!!!!
Could somebody send him Acosta's contact information?

So, the CIA is still working for the terrorists. Wonderful!

I wish our politicians and intelligence organizations got as concerned about treachery and strangely coincidental deaths here in the USA as they have over this terrorist sympathizer.
