Saudi Arabia on Saturday sacked two top aides to the Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman after conceding that critic Jamal Khashoggi was killed inside its Istanbul Consulate.
Deputy intelligence Chief Ahmad Al-Assiri and Royal Court media advisor Saud al-Qahtani were both part of Prince Mohammed’s inner circle. Their ouster came alongside the arrests of 18 Saudi suspects and the dismissal of other intelligence officials.
