Washington: An intelligence report submitted to the US Congress claimed that Mohammed bin Salman (Saudi Crown Prince) of Saudi Arabia (Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman) was in Istanbul to capture or kill journalist Jamal Khashoggi The expedition was approved. Khashogi was assassinated on 2 October 2018 at the Saudi Arabian consulate in the city of Istanbul, Turkey.

The report states, “Since 2017, Walihad has complete control over the country’s security and intelligence organizations. It is unlikely that Saudi authorities can carry out a campaign of this nature without the permission of Walihad. ” Not long after the Congress received the report, US Secretary of State Antoine Blinken announced a “Khashogi ban”, which imposed visa restrictions on 76 Saudi Saudi individuals who are believed to have voiced disagreements abroad.
