Washington - Members of the Saudi team that killed journalist Jamal Khashoggi received training in the United States, the Washington Post has reported, revealing other new elements in the death of the newspaper's former contributor.
After having denied the murder, Saudi Arabia said the operation was carried out by agents who were out of control. A trial of 11 suspects opened earlier this year in Saudi Arabia. The US Senate, after a closed-door briefing by the CIA, adopted a resolution naming the crown prince as"responsible" for the murder, while President Donald Trump has refused to publicly take a stand.
A note in the transcript says an injection was administered to Khashoggi, which the Saudi source said was probably a powerful sedative.
