US report on Khashoggi murder critical for justice: UN expert

Al Jazeera  

White House says unclassified US intelligence report on 2018 murder of Saudi journalist will be released ‘soon’. Citing four unidentified US officials familiar with the matter, the Reuters news agency said the report “assessed that the crown prince approved and likely ordered the murder of Khashoggi”. In a June 2019 report, Callamard also found “sufficient credible evidence regarding the responsibility of the Crown Prince demanding further investigation”. On Wednesday afternoon, Psaki said the US president intends to “recalibrate” the relationship with the senior Saudi leadership – and only has plans to hold direct talks with King Salman, not his son, the crown prince. “I would anticipate the call being directly with the king and be one-on-one,” she said, adding the Biden administration would wait for the US intelligence report to be released before commenting publicly.
