"We assess that Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman approved an operation in Istanbul, Turkey to capture or kill Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi," the report's executive summary states.

The Biden administration provided the long-awaited declassified intelligence report to Congress ahead of its public release on Friday. It says that the 15-person Saudi team that arrived in Istanbul in October 2018 when Khashoggi was killed included members associated with the Saudi Center for Studies and Media Affairs at the Royal Court, led by a close adviser of bin Salman, as well as"seven members of Muhammad bin Salman's elite personal protective detail, known as the Rapid Intervention Force."

When asked if the administration would consider sanctions against those found responsible for Khashoggi's murder, State Department spokesperson Ned Price said Thursday,"I expect that we will be in a position before long to speak to steps to promote accountability going forward for this horrific crime."
