Oneyear after the slaying on Oct. 2., 2018, of Khashoggi, a U.S. resident and critic of Saudi Arabia’s government who disappeared inside the country’s diplomatic offices in Turkey, his remains have yet to be found.
A United Nations report concluded that there was “credible evidence” that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler who enjoys a close relationship with the Trump administration, masterminded the killing. The CIA concluded that the crown prince ordered the execution or at least bears some responsibility for the Saudi operatives who carried out the assassination. The crown prince denied in an interview with “60 Minutes” that he ordered the killing.
