ISTANBUL, TURKEY - OCTOBER 08: A man holds a poster of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi during a protest organized by members of the Turkish-Arabic Media Association at the entrance to Saudi Arabia's consulate on October 8, 2018 in Istanbul, Turkey. Fears are growing over the fate of missing journalist Jamal Khashoggi after Turkish officials said they believe he was murdered inside the Saudi consulate. Saudi consulate officials have said that missing writer and Saudi critic Jamal Khashoggi went missing after leaving the consulate, however the statement directly contradicts other sources including Turkish officials.

TURKEY: The director of the CIA has reportedly listened to an audio recording of the interrogation and killing of Jamal Khashoggi, reported the Independent.
Gina Haspel departed for a trip to Turkey on Monday and people familiar with her meetings there told The Washington Post she had heard the tapes.
Saudi Arabia‘s powerful crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, claimed on Wednesday that the journalist’s killers would be brought to justice, before warning anyone against trying to “manipulate” the crisis to drive a wedge between the kingdom and Turkey.
His comments came after Donald Trump said that if anyone in the kingdom’s power structure had known about the plot, “it would be” its de facto leader, the crown prince.
