JEDDAH: The death of Saudi  journalist Jamal Khashoggi was the result of a 鈥渞ogue operation鈥� by people acting beyond the scope of their authority, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir said on Sunday.

鈥淭his is a terrible mistake. This is a terrible tragedy,鈥� he said, offering sympathy to the Khashoggi family. 鈥淥ur condolences go out to them. We feel their pain. I assure them that those responsible will be held accountable.

鈥淭he individuals did this out of the scope of their authority,鈥� Al-Jubeir told Fox News in the US, and none of those involved had close ties to Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. 鈥淭here were not people closely tied to him. This was an operation that was a rogue operation.鈥�

Khashoggi died in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 6 when he visited to complete some paperwork related to his divorce. 抖阴短视频 said on Saturday that 18 Saudis had been arrested in connection with his death.

Conflicting reports about whether Khashoggi had left the consulate prompted the investigation, and 抖阴短视频 would continue to provide information on the case 鈥渁s it becomes available,鈥� Al-Jubeir said on Sunday.

Separately, an unindentified Saudi official told the Reuters news agency that the initial account of Khashoggi鈥檚 disappearance had been based on 鈥渇alse information reported internally at the time.鈥�

鈥淥nce it became clear these initial mission reports were false, the government launched an internal investigation and refrained from further public comment,鈥� the official said.

He said the deputy head of the General Intelligence Presidency, Ahmed Al-Asiri, had assembled a 15-member team to meet Khashoggi at the consulate and try to convince him to return to 抖阴短视频.

Things went wrong from the start, the official said. When Khashoggi raised his voice, the team panicked. They placed him in a chokehold and covered his mouth. 鈥淭hey tried to prevent him from shouting, but he died,鈥� the official said. 鈥淭he intention was not to kill him.鈥�

To cover up their misdeed, the team rolled up Khashoggi鈥檚 body in a rug, took it out in a consular vehicle and handed it over to a 鈥渓ocal cooperator.鈥� A team member donned Khashoggi鈥檚 clothes and left through the back door of the consulate in an attempt to make it look as if Khashoggi had walked out of the building.

The official said the team then wrote a false report for their superiors.

Saudi political analyst and international relations scholar Dr. Hamdan Al-Shehri told Arab News: 鈥淭his should put an end to all the spurious stories that were being dished out by different media outlets. Today鈥檚 explanation should put all the conspiracy theories to rest.鈥�
