US Senate passes resolution

The US Senate has passed a resolution saying Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was responsible for Jamal Khashoggi’s murder.

Senators unanimously passed a resolution on Thursday night declaring Mr bin Salman was responsible for the Washington Post journalist’s death.

It is unclear at this stage whether or not the House will consider the measure.

The resolution was passed after US President Donald Trump was non-committal on who was to blame.
