Fiancée of Slain Journalist Jamal Khashoggi Files Suit Against Saudi Crown Prince 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The fiancée of the slain Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi has
filed a civil lawsuit in Washington, D.C., against Saudi Crown Prince
Mohammed bin Salman for ordering his torture and killing two years ago
inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul. The lawsuit also names more than
two dozen other Saudis who the lawsuit claims were part of a plot to
"permanently silence" Khashoggi, who had begun writing articles critical
of the Saudi royal family.
