Saudi Arabia s envoy to the United Nations has criticised the US intelligence report that accused Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of authorising the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, calling on the world to move on from the gruesome murder.
In a series of tweets sent on Monday, Saudi Ambassador Abdallah al-Mouallimi said last week s report by the US Office of Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) does not prove the crown prince s responsibility for the killing beyond reasonable doubt . The Prince courageously accepted moral responsibility, presented the accused to the justice system, and pledged to reform the intelligence organizations, Mouallimi wrote.
