Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman is crazy, says US senator

Washington: US senators say they are more certain than ever after a private CIA briefing that the Saudi crown prince had a role in the murder of a journalist. In a blistering attack, Senator Lindsey Graham said he had “high confidence” Mohammed bin Salman was complicit in the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, BBC reported. The South Carolina Republican described the Saudi royal as “a wrecking ball”, “crazy” and “dangerous”.

The Saudis have charged 11 people but deny the crown prince was involved. Members of the Senate’s Committee on Foreign Relations did not mince words after the briefing by CIA Director Gina Haspel on Tuesday. Trump has said the CIA findings on the crown prince were not conclusive. (IANS)
