Fears are growing over the fate of missing Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, after Turkish officials said they believe he was murdered in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul last Tuesday. Khashoggi, a columnist for The Washington Post who had been living in self-imposed exile in the United States, entered the consulate seeking a document he needed to get married and has not been seen since. The Washington Post reports a Turkish investigation has revealed that a group of about 15 Saudi men traveled to Istanbul to kill him as he visited the consulate. Saudi officials have denied the report and say they don’t know Khashoggi’s whereabouts. Democratic Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut tweeted Sunday, “If this is true–that the Saudis lured a U.S. resident into their consulate and murdered him–it should represent a fundamental break in our relationship with Saudi Arabia.” We’ll have more on this story later in the broadcast.
