Washington: Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ‘approved’ an operation in Istanbul, Turkey, to capture or kill Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018, said a declassified US intelligence assessment released on Friday by President Joe Biden’s administration.

Khashoggi wrote opinion columns for the Washington Post critical of the crown prince’s policies.
