Khashoggi Murder Probe Is Set for Partial Disclosure by U.S.

A judge ordered U.S. intelligence agencies to turn over descriptions of a recording of the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi Arabian dissident and Washington Post columnist, and of a Central Intelligence Agency report on the killing.

Khashoggi, who lived in the U.S., was killed and dismembered in 2018 by Saudi agents inside the nation’s consulate in Istanbul. The CIA looked into claims that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had ordered the murder, straining relations between that country and the U.S. The Open Society Justice Initiative, an advocacy group, sued under the Freedom of Information Act last year to gain access to records tied to the U.S. investigation.
