Khashoggi widow seeks probe in France over phone hacking before killing

The widow of slain Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi filed a legal complaint in France on Monday accusing Saudi Arabia of using Israeli spyware to steal data from her phones before he was killed, her lawyers said. Hanan Elatr Khashoggi, whose husband was murdered at the kingdom's Istanbul consulate in October 2018, alleged her data was in part stolen in France, where she landed repeatedly while working as an air hostess, according to a copy of the complaint seen by AFP.
