Washington (AP) - The Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman approved the operation to capture or kill journalist Jamal Khashoggi in October 2018, according to estimates by the US secret services.

That emerges from a report that the office of US intelligence coordinator Avril Haines published in Washington on Friday.

Khashoggi was killed on October 2, 2018 in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul by a special command from Riyadh.
