The fate of a missing dissident Saudi journalist has remained shrouded in mystery, particularly following Ankara and Riyadh’s contradictory statements Oct. 3 about his whereabouts.
Jamal Khashoggi, 59, a frequent contributor to The Washington Post and author of several articles critical of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, went missing Oct. 2 after visiting the Saudi Arabian Consulate in Istanbul. The journalist’s fiance and friends believe Khashoggi has been held at the consulate since he entered it.
