Mohammed bin Salman Authorised Campaign Against Dissenters

New York: Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman authorized a secret campaign to silence dissenters, which included the surveillance, kidnapping, detention, and torture, over a year before the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, according to US officials. At least some of the clandestine missions were carried out by members of the same team that killed and dismembered Khashoggi, a columnist for The Washington Psot, in Istanbul last October, suggesting that his killing was a particularly egregious part of a wider campaign to silence Saudi dissidents, The New York Times reported on Sunday citing the officials as saying. Details about the operations come from the American officials who have read classified intelligence assessments about the Saudi campaign, as well as from Saudis with direct knowledge of some of the operations.
