Saudi Arabia condemns US Senate ‘interference’ over Khashoggi | Financial Times:

Saudi Arabia fired back at its critics in Washington for their “interference” in its affairs after the US Senate blamed the Saudi crown prince for the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

In a statement late on Sunday, Riyadh said the Senate vote “was based on unsubstantiated claims and allegations, and contained blatant interferences in the kingdom’s internal affairs, undermining the kingdom’s regional and international role”.

In two votes last week the US Senate blamed Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for the murder of Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul and called for the US to pull out of a Saudi-led war in Yemen.
