For US intelligence, there is no doubt: "We believe that the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman authorized an operation in Istanbul to capture or kill journalist Jamal Khashoggi."

More than two years after the death of the Saudi dissident, killed by Saudi agents at the Istanbul consulate, in October 2018, the Biden administration released a long-awaited US intelligence report on Friday.
