      US court dismisses lawsuit against Saudi prince in journalist Jamal Khashoggi killing

      AUS federal judge on Tuesday dismissed a lawsuit against Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in the killing of US-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi, bowing to the Biden administration’s insistence that the prince was legally immune in the case. District of Columbia US District Judge John D. Bates heeded the US government’s motion to shield Prince Mohammed from the lawsuit despite what Bates called “credible allegations of his involvement in Khashoggi’s murder.” A team of Saudi officials killed Khashoggi inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018. Khashoggi, a columnist for The Washington Post, had written critically of the harsh ways of Prince Mohammed, Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler. The US intelligence community concluded the Saudi crown prince ordered the operation…

The report by Economic Times said no clarification has been given by Iranian buyers regarding the sudden halt in buying Indian tea and rice.
