Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is involved in the chilling murder of dissident Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi. It is the conclusion of the explosive report of the Americans 007, expected for tomorrow, according to the advances of Axios. “The report, an unclassified document produced by the National Intelligence Directorate, implies that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is involved in the murder and dismemberment of Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018,” the site writes, citing a source. protected by anonymity.
It was Avril Haines herself, in her confirmation hearing in the Senate as the first woman to lead National Intelligence, who participated in the dissemination of the report: “Yes, Senator, we will follow the law,” she had answered a question. US intelligence had already reached a “medium-high level” belief in the past about the involvement of the controversial Saudi prince (considering him the main one) but had not published any official document, while Donald Trump had done everything possible to save the bin image. Salman after choosing him as his main ally in the Middle East region, along with Israel.
MBS has always denied any involvement, but accepted responsibility as the de facto leader of the country, although without serious consequences. Now, however, he runs the risk of further damage to his image and of ceasing to be an interlocutor for the White House. Indeed, Joe Biden intends to maintain relationships not with him but with his father, 85-year-old King Salman, who should call shortly for the first time, informing him in advance of 007 USA’s shameful relationship. “He is his counterpart,” the White House stressed when confirming the publication of the report.

Without giving in to human rights. During the election campaign, Biden had openly accused bin Salman of killing Khashoggi, promising in the event of victory that he would not sell weapons to the Saudis and that he would make them “the pariahs that they are.” Now we will have to see what consequences the conclusion of US 007 will have.
