Saudi Arabia Sentences 5 People to Death for Khashoggi's Murder
---------------------------------------------------------------

Saudi Arabia has sentenced five people to death for the killing of
prominent journalist and Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi.
Three additional people were sentenced to prison over the brutal murder
carried out inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul, which sparked
international outrage. Saudi Arabia has not announced who has been
sentenced to death or imprisoned. The CIA has concluded Saudi Crown
Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered Khashoggi's assassination, but the
prince remains a close ally to the U.S. government.
