News Alert: The killing of Jamal Khashoggi is rocking the U.S.-Saudi partnership, insiders tell Post columnist David Ignatius

Saudi and American insiders who have had access to previously undisclosed details have begun disclosing new information about the people and events surrounding Khashoggi's fatal visit to Istanbul, columnist David Ignatius reports.

Unless Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman takes ownership of this issue and accepts blame for murderous deeds done in his name, his relationship with the United States will remain broken, Ignatius writes.
