U.N. Finds "Credible Evidence" of MBS's Responsibility in Khashoggi Murder
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a highly anticipated report released Wednesday, a U.N. expert has
called for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to be investigated for
the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, citing "credible evidence" that
he and other top Saudi officials are individually liable for the October
killing. Special rapporteur Agnes Calamard wrote that Khashoggi's death
"constituted an extrajudicial killing for which the State of the Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia is responsible," and called for targeted sanctions
against the crown prince.
