Jamal Khashoggi's son has left Saudi Arabia

The son of murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi has left Saudi Arabia, CNN reported citing a source close to the family.

Salah bin Jamal Khashoggi, a dual US-Saudi citizen, had previously been unable to leave Saudi Arabia after his passport was restricted by the kingdom some months ago.

Salah Khashoggi is the eldest son of The Washington Post columnist who Saudis officials now admit was killed in a pre-meditated murder executed by a squad of men with close ties to the country's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
