< < Go Back
Ankara has shared with U.S. officials what it calls graphic audio and video proving Jamal Khashoggi died in Saudi consulate.
The Turkish government has what it describes as audio and video recordings purporting to show that Saudi Arabian journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, and has shared the evidence with U.S. officials, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Turkish officials may release the evidence in coming days, these people said, adding the recordings have been described by those who have reviewed them as evidence of a killing. The audio evidence is particularly graphic, according to these people.
“Turkish investigators have sound from inside the consulate which makes it clear they killed him,” one of the people said.
Saudi Arabia says it had nothing to do with the journalist’s disappearance.
