Washington (AP) - The Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman approved the operation to 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.
