was behind it. Following his killing, Hanan Elatr, the widow of Khashoggi, feared for her safety and came to the US in August 2020 to apply for asylum.

She was granted indefinite asylum status on 28 November, according to the BBC citing reviewed documents.

"We did win," Elatr told the BBC, emotion catching in her throat. "Yes, they took Jamal's life and they destroyed my life, but we did win."

Elatr, a former flight attendant, had applied for political asylum in the US over three years ago, fearing her life would be in danger if she returned to Egypt or the United Arab Emirates — her home of more than 25 years.

She lived in Maryland for months, abandoning her job and life, and her attorney, Randa Fahmy, confirmed this in an interview.

Eventually, she was able to obtain a work permit in October 2021 to begin her new life in the US and she now has a job and apartment — though she struggles to make ends meet.
