Jamal Khashoggi’s murder could be a game-changer for the Yemen war
|(CNN)The slain Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi wrote passionately about ending the brutal war in Yemen. In one column for the Washington Post he called on Saudi Arabia to “use its clout and leverage within Western circles” to resolve the conflict.
Never could he have imagined that he himself would become the leverage in attempts to end the war.
US President Donald Trump seems reluctant to connect Mohammed bin Salman to the journalist’s death, appearing to take little note of what sources say is a CIA assessment that the powerful Saudi Crown Prince ordered Khashoggi’s killing.
