Riyadh: Saudi Arabia’s powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman vowed that the killers of Jamal Khashoggi would be brought to justice, his first public comments since the journalist’s murder sparked global condemnation.
Prince Mohammed at an investment conference in Riyadh said that the furore over Khashoggi’s killing at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul would not derail the reform drive, Dawn reported.
His comments came hours after US President Donald Trump was quoted by the Wall Street Journal as saying that since he was Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, the crown prince bore ultimate responsibility for the operation that led to Khashoggi’s death.(UNI)
