Saudi Foreign Minister Blames ‘Rogue’ Killers

Saudi Arabia’s foreign minister denied that the kingdom’s crown prince and de facto ruler, Mohammed bin Salman, had any prior knowledge of an operation that resulted in the killing of Jamal Khashoggi and said that the agents involved “weren’t people closely tied” to the crown prince, the Washington Post reports.

Said Adel al-Jubeir: “This was an operation that was a rogue operation. This was an operation where individuals ended up exceeding the authorities and responsibilities they had. They made a mistake when they killed Jamal Khashoggi.”
