A Saudi minister was forced to listen to CNN's Christiane Amanpour as she recounted the brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi
"I Did What I Had to Do": CNN's Christiane Amanpour Forces Saudi Minister to Hear Details of Khashoggi MurderThe Saudi minister of state for foreign affairs was forced to listen to CNN's chief international anchor Christiane Amanpour recount the morbid details from Wednesday's United Nations report on the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, which concluded there was"credible evidence" to further investigate Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for the killing.
Al-Jubeir dismissed Amanpour's review of the report and asked to"let me first respond to your first question about holding to account people who committed Abu Ghraib." Al-Jubeir claimed that the execution was"a rogue operation that was not authorized," placing the blame on lower-level Saudi officials.
But she did not accept that response alone, and proceeded to read from intelligence reports documenting how Khashoggi's body was dismembered.
