Who Killed Jamal Khashoggi? l Inside Story


The joint Saudi-Turkish team investigating the case of missing Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi has searched the consulate, and attention is now turned to the consul's home.

The Turkish Attorney General's office told Al Jazeera there is evidence Khashoggi was killed inside the consulate, something Saudi Arabia had consistently denied. But media sources in the U.S. suggest the Kingdom is preparing to acknowledge he died during an interrogation that went wrong.

King Salman said he didn't know anything about it in a phone call with President Trump who then suggested “rogue killers” may be to blame. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is now in Riyadh looking for answers as to what actually happened after Khashoggi was last seen entering the consulate on October 2nd.
