London ,Dec.03: In an astounding revelation , the slain Washington Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi had leveled serious charges against Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman.
The slain Saudi journalist had described the Crown Prince as a severe man and destroys whatever comes on his way.
Sources said the revelation was made in over 400 WhatsApp messages Khashoggi had sent to a Canada-based activist and fellow Saudi exile Omar Abdulaziz before his killing. Reports said CNN was granted exclusive access to the messages.
Abdulaziz told CNN that Jamal believed bin Salman, commonly referred to as MBS, was the problem. He said a number of communications were intercepted by Saudi officials in August this year. The Saudi journalist Khashoggi once wrote, “God help us”. And, he was killed in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul afterwards.
