Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi's fiancée Hatice Cengiz questions US President Biden's commitment to hold the Saudi kingdom accountable three years after the writer's brutal murder
Khashoggi, a prominent Saudi who lived in self-exile in the United States, wrote critically about MBS in columns in The Washington Post.
According to US and Turkish officials, a waiting Saudi hit squad strangled him and dismembered his body, which has never been retrieved. Biden vowed a tougher approach, declassifying intelligence and imposing sanctions on Saudis although not on the crown prince himself.US officials said Sullivan traveled to Saudi Arabia, where MBS is also defence minister, largely to discuss the crisis in Yemen where the kingdom has led a devastating air campaign aimed at defeating Iranian-backed Houthi rebels.
"They tortured him so bad, they almost killed him. They broke his hand and smashed his fingers until they were disfigured, saying, 'Is this the hand you tweet with?'" said his sister Areej al Sadhan, who lives in California.
