Saudi Arabia to admit Khashoggi dead: CNN

CNN sources claim Saudi Arabia is preparing to admit missing writer Jamal Khashoggi was killed during an interrogation and those responsible would be punished.

Saudi Arabia is preparing a report that would admit Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed as the result of an interrogation that went wrong, CNN reports, citing two unnamed sources.

One source cautioned that the report was still being prepared and could change, CNN said on Monday.

The other source said the report would likely conclude that the operation was carried out without clearance and that those involved will be held responsible, the cable news outlet said.
