Saudi Arabia to hold to account those involved in Khashoggi killing: Cabinet

Saudi Arabia to hold to account those involved in Khashoggi killing: Cabinet

Khashoggi, a prominent Saudi writer and columnist, was killed in October 2018

Saudi Arabia will hold to account those responsible of journalist Jamal Khashoggi's killing and those who failed in their duties, whoever they are, the Saudi cabinet said after a meeting chaired by King Salman on Tuesday.

Khashoggi went missing on October 2 when he entered the consulate in Istanbul. After weeks of denying knowledge of his fate, Saudi officials said the prominent journalist was killed in a "rogue operation".

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has demanded to know, in a speech to ruling party lawmakers in Istanbul, who gave the order to kill Saudi journalist and dissident Jamal Khashoggi. Erdogan also demanded to know where Khashoggi's corpse is.
