Question about conspiracy and/or felony murder in re Khashoggi case (and others)

[RockRaven]

Let's say that someone in the United States, like a totally hypothetically named person who I shall call Shmared Shmushner, provided information to the Saudis which he knew/believed was going to be used to assist them in kidnapping and torturing (or extorting) someone. Does it matter where those crimes are carried out? Could he be charged in the US under felony murder laws if the kidnapping, battery, and murder occurred overseas?

1. I think that if the conspiracy occurred in the US he could be charged with that.

To be guilty of conspiracy two or more people have to plan a crime and take some active step in furtherance of the crime. Seems to me that if Mr. Shmushner obtained and passed on information about the whereabouts of the victim to whomever arranged for the hit, that might qualify as an active step.
