A senior Saudi prince has cast doubt upon the reported CIA finding that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the killing of Jamal Khashoggi,saying the agency could not be counted on to reach a credible conclusion.
"The CIA is not necessarily the highest standard of veracity or accuracy in assessing situations," Prince Turki al-Faisal, a senior member of the royal family, has told journalists in Abu Dhabi.
"The examples of that are multitude," he said on Saturday.
The prince, a former Saudi intelligence chief who has also served as ambassador to the United States, said the CIA's conclusion that Iraq possessed chemical weapons before the US invasion in 2003 showed it could be unreliable.
