CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination Last Updated Nov 17, 2018 1:55 PM EST The CIA has intelligence that substantiates an assessment that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, according to a U.S. official familiar with the intelligence. The official declined to characterize the confidence level of the CIA’s assessment. A separate U.S. official told CBS News Friday that U.S. intelligence has “high confidence” in its assessment that bin Salman ordered the killing — an assessment based on an understanding of how Saudi Arabia operates. Neither official indicated that there is direct evidence linking bin Salman to the killing — including on the day of the incident. The CIA’s assessment regarding the death of Khashoggi, who wrote for The Washington Post, was first reported by news outlets Friday, including The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Associated Press. According to sources cited in the publications, the CIA’s assessment appeared to be largely based on the control held by bin Salman. In other words, the murder could not have been carried out without the knowledge of bin Salman, often referred to by his initials, MBS. MBS has denied any involvement in Khashoggi’s killing. The CIA declined to comment. U.S. intelligence officials told CBS News that intelligence agencies believe the killing was premeditated. President Trump told reporters Saturday morning that he hadn’t been briefed on the assessment yet. He later spoke with his CIA chief and top diplomat about the spy agency’s assessment of the killing. Khashoggi, a prominent critic of the crown prince who was based in the U.S., was killed after he entered the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2. In the first two weeks following his disappearance, Saudi officials denied any knowledge while Turkish officials anonymously said he had been murdered inside the consulate by a 15-member hit squad. On Oct. 19, the Saudi government admitted for the first time that Khashoggi had been murdered. But it characterized the incident as a rogue operation and denied involvement by MBS. An official assessment that MBS ordered the killing would have important implications for U.S. relations with Saudi Arabia. On Thursday, the U.S. announced sanctions on 17 Saudi individuals allegedly involved in Khashoggi’s death. MBS was not among them, nor was former deputy intelligence chief Ahmad al-Assiri, who was identified by Saudi Arabia’s top prosecutor as the highest-level Saudi official behind Khashoggi’s killing. President Trump has resisted blaming MBS for Khashoggi’s death. He has cited the importance of the Saudis in countering the influence of Iran in the region, as well as future military sales by U.S. defense contractors. On Saturday, President Trump called Saudi Arabia a “spectacular ally,” citing the kingdom’s contribution to American jobs and the economy. So far, the government in Saudi Arabia has indicted 11 people in connection with Khashoggi’s death, and 21 total are in custody. Saudi Arabia’s top prosecutor is recommending the death penalty for five of the suspects. CBS News correspondent Holly Williams reported on Thursday the Saudi prosecutor gave the kingdom’s first official acknowledgement that Khashoggi’s body was dismembered after he was killed inside the consulate — though that is what Turkish officials have been saying for weeks. According to The Washington Post, the CIA’s evidence also included a phone call between and Khashoggi and bin Salman’s brother and U.S. ambassador Khalid bin Salman, who suggested Khashoggi go to Turkey. Khalid Bin Salman denied the allegation, saying the last communication he had with Khashoggi was nearly a year earlier. © 2018 CBS Interactive Inc. All Rights Reserved.

संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिकाका राष्ट्रपति डोनल्ड ट्रम्पले साउदी पत्रकार जमाल खशोगीको हत्यामा साउदी अरेबिया जिम्मेवार रहेको पाइएमा अमेरिकाले, उनकै शब्दमा, साउदी अरेबियालाई “कडा सजाय” दिने बताएका छन्। यदि त्यस्तो भएमा त्यसले आफूलाई “निराश र आक्रोशित” तुल्याउने ट्रम्पले बताए। तर दुई देशबीचका ठूला सैन्य ठेक्कापट्टा भने रोकिने सम्भावना नरहेको बताएका छन्। खशोगीको हत्या भएको भन्ने आरोपहरू साउदी अरेबियाले अस्वीकार गरेको छ र उनको हत्याका उसले लागि आदेश दिएको भन्ने दाबीहरूलाई ‘झुटो’ भनेको छ। इस्तानुबलस्थित साउदी अरेबियाको महावाणिज्य दूतावास पुगेयता साउदी सरकारका आलोचक खशोगी बेपत्ता छन्। उनी त्यहाँ अक्टोबर २ मा गएका थिए। सीबीएस न्यूजलाई दिएको एउटा अन्तर्वार्तामा ट्रम्पले सैन्य ठेक्कापट्टा रद्द गर्ने भन्दा पनि सजाय दिने अन्य तरिकाहरू भएको र त्यसमा रुस तथा चीन पनि इच्छुक रहेको बताएका छन्। संयुक्त राष्ट्रसंघका प्रमुख एन्टनियो गुटरेशले पनि खशोगीको अवस्थाबारे सत्यतथ्य प्रस्तुत गर्न माग गरेका छन्। बीबीसीसँग कुरा गर्दै गुटरेशले यस्ता किसिमका बेपत्ता पारिने घटनाहरू नियमितजसो हुन सक्ने डर पनि व्यक्त गरेका छन्। शुक्रबार साउदीका आन्तरिक मामिला मन्त्रीले, उनकै शब्दमा, घटनाबारे पूरै सत्यतथ्य पत्ता लगाउन साउदी अरेबिया इच्छुक भएको बताउँदै हत्याका लागि दिइएका आदेश आधारहीन भएको बताएका थिए। टर्कीस्थित सुरक्षासम्बन्धी एउटा सूत्रले इस्ताबुलस्थित साउदी महावाणिज्य दूतावासभित्र खशोगीको हत्या भएको प्रमाणित गर्ने अडिओ तथा भिडिओ प्रमाण अधिकारीहरूसँग भएको बीबीसीलाई बताएका छन्। खशोगीले आफ्नो काम सकेर महावाणिज्य दूतावास भवन छाडेको साउदी अरेबियाले बताउँदै आएको छ। तर टर्कीले उनले सो भवन छाडेको नदेखिएको बताएको छ साउदी युवराज मोहम्मद बिन सलमानका कट्टर आलोचक खशोगी अमेरिकामा स्वनिर्वासनमा थिए र बेपत्ता हुनुअघिसम्म अमेरिकी समाचारपत्र वासिङ्ग्टन पोस्टका लागि लेखहरू लेख्दथे। कैयौँ वर्षसम्म उनलाई राजपरिवारका निकट व्यक्तिका रूपमा हेरिन्थ्यो। साउदी अधिकारीहरूका लागि सल्लाहकार रुपमा पनि उनले काम गरेका थिए।
