Turkey Demands Evidence Over Fate of Saudi Journalist Feared Murdered In Consulate
update
Turkey’s president has demanded that Saudi Arabia offer proof that a prominent exiled critic is still alive, amid claims that he was murdered at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. Jamal Khashoggi was visiting the Istanbul consulate to finalize his marriage to a Turkish national, ahead of taking up a job as columnist at The Washington Post newspaper, but has not been seen since. As Henry Ridgwell reports, his disappearance risks triggering a diplomatic crisis between Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
