Rula Jebreal: My “Secret Interview” with Jamal Khashoggi Before His Brutal Murder by the Saudis
Cooperating or Clashing over the Killing of Jamal Khashoggi? | Inside Story
Erdogan said the Saudi journalist was the victim of a savage murder, planned days in advance – that contradicts Saudi accounts of an accidental killing. He says he doesn't doubt the credibility of King Salman – but is demanding answers and a full investigation into what happened in Istanbul three weeks ago.
There was no mention of Saudi Crown prince Mohammad bin Salman – who some suspect of ordering the killing of the writer who’d criticized him. Erdogan wants the identities of all involved - everyone from top to bottom held accountable and suspects to go on trial in Turkey. So, what now?

Can Saudi Arabia Get Away with Murder? | Inside Story
The journalist was missing for two weeks before Saudi leaders eventually admitted his killing, they say by mistake, in their consulate in Istanbul. Their story has changed since then, what's being described as a 'rogue operation’ is the latest explanation. What isn’t changing is the kingdom’s insistence that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman did not order the operation to kill.
As the international outcry builds, critics are sceptical that the heir apparent didn’t know anything about it. Will pressure on the Saudis work?

Is Saudi Arabia's Claim Jamal Khashoggi Died in a Fistfight Credible? l Inside Story
The Kingdom says there was a brawl and Khashoggi died. US President Donald Trump says he finds that explanation "credible" but many politicians in the US and around the world are skeptical; and Turkish Security sources have a different story. They say Khashoggi was tortured, murdered and his body dismembered.

Will Jamal Khashoggi's Disappearance Impact US-Saudi Relations? I Inside Story
More than two weeks after Jamal Khashoggi disappeared, his fate remains unclear; but US President Donald Trump has admitted, for the first time, the journalist may have been killed inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
Trump's comments, are a shift for the White House, and he's warning of 'severe' consequences if the Saudi leadership is involved. The shift in tone comes following his Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's visit to Riyadh and Ankara earlier this week.
The president is now under mounting pressure to take action. Members of the House of Representatives have sent him a letter calling for sanctions against Saudi Arabia; so, how will this case impact the long-standing relationship between Washington and Riyadh?
