The US Central Intelligence Agency has concluded Saudi Arabia's powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was behind the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, US media reported Friday, citing people close to the matter.
The US assessment directly contradicts the conclusions of a Saudi prosecutor one day prior, which exonerated the prince of involvement in the brutal murder.
But The Washington Post, which broke the story, said the CIA found that 15 Saudi agents flew on government aircraft to Istanbul and assassinated Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate.

Salman should kill everyone in his government connected to the 9/11 attacks, and he needs to stop supporting all terrorist actions. As long as he does that, we can work with him.
I’m not yet buying the whole mess about MBS calling for this.
Be careful about the sources you assume are correct.
I think this mess in SA is between MBS and al Talal. Al Talal lost 1/2 of his fortune (50 billion) when MBS came to power. He jailed lots of the Saudi Royal family members and extracted funds from them.
Al Talal owns big interest in Fox News.
He owns Four Seasons Hotels (aka top 4 floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel in Vegas, and in many other places).
Remember the mass shooting at the Mandalay Bay?
That was swept under the rug. Quickly.
Turkey is lying through their teeth about the recording. They are constantly saying it was released to many Western officials. But they have never physically given the recording itself to anyone. Without physical analysis of the actual recording I believe NOTHING that Turkey says. It is all lies and it is intended to divide SA, the coalition and the US.
With the CIA’s track record of late, I’d keep my mouth shut if I were them.
They couldn’t even think their way out of Russian collusion.
I'm hard pressed to see how this has anything to do with us.
I’m not buying this story either, yet.
“Wahabbism, fat cash cow for the intel community.”
How so? How does our intel community benefit from the Saudis spreading Wahabbism?
Bump
It’s a Muslim thing. Who are we to judge?
Salman is the best we can get over there. He’s too young to have any involvement with 9/11.
I wouldn’t believe the CIA if they told me the sky was blue or that Mad Mo was a pedophile.
Bump
I don’t think anyone cares except politicians and newsies who just want use it for political purposes.
CIA concludes Saudi Crown Prince behind Khashoggi murder:
Yeah, sure, right. As if we really give a rat’s ass.
WP report. I remain skeptical of both the source and the report. Trump said this morning that he would be briefed on the CIA report today.
The CIA has concluded just what the CIA already leaked to wapo/nyt.
Surprise.
I no longer have any trust in anything the CIA says or does. It needs a Jack Ryan (LOL!)...
This information should have been privately conveyed to the President.
Is this the same CIA that was “highly confident” that “the Russians” had hacked and influenced the 2016 Presidential election? I have less than zero confidence in CIA “determinations”.
That’s exactly the problem. It’s not a Saudi turd, its a Muslim turd, and there’s no clean end TO it. It’s a murderous ideology, and so you just have to choose which murderers you can tolerate. I prefer Saudi princes to Iranian mullahs, myself, but that doesn’t mean I like them, I just prefer them given those two choices.
We can be certain that the CIA is at least as loyal to America as CNN and even more so to PDJT.
