Saudi Arabia rejects US report on Khashoggi’s murder

SANAA, Feb. 27 (YPA) – The government of Saudi Arabia on Friday rejected the findings of the US intelligence report regarding the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, saying the report contained “inaccurate information and conclusions.”

The kingdom’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Friday evening that it has been following the report submitted to the US Congress on the murder of Khashoggi, noting that Saudi Arabia “completely rejects the negative, false and unacceptable assessment in the report pertaining to the Kingdom’s leadership.”

Earlier Friday, a report released by the US Office of the Director of National Intelligence assessed 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.
