Saudi Arabia on Friday said it "completely rejects" a declassified US report that found that de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman approved journalist Jamal Khashoggi's 2018 murder. The Saudi foreign ministry said the report contained "inaccurate information and conclusions". "The kingdom rejects any measure that infringes upon its leadership, sovereignty, and the independence of its judicial system," the ministry added. Saudi Arabia has previously said the murder was a rogue operation and has vehemently denied the crown prince was involved.
