(CNN)Saudi Arabia Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi was a “tremendous mistake” by rogue operators, in an interview with Fox News host Bret Baier on Sunday.
“The individuals who did this did this outside the scope of their authority,” he said. “There obviously was a tremendous mistake made, and what compounded the mistake was the attempt to try to cover up. That is unacceptable in any government.”
Al-Jubeir said that Saudi Arabia was taking action to investigate how Khashoggi died and hold those responsible accountable.
