MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 07th October, 2018) Turkish investigators probing the vanishing of a prominent Saudi journalist in Istanbul believe he was murdered inside the Saudi consulate, US media reported.
The Washington Post said Saturday, citing sources familiar with the inquiry, that its columnist Jamal Khashoggi had been killed by a 15-man Saudi team sent to Turkey "specifically for the murder."
The Post said no specific evidence was given to support this claim. Turkish media reported earlier this week that the writer went missing Wednesday after he was last seen entering the Saudi consulate.
Turkey's Anadolu news agency cited Khashoggi's fiancee as saying he had been invited to the mission to get documents required for the wedding. After waiting for five hours outside the consulate she was told he had already left.
