Two years on, Khashoggi murder unresolved, body still missing

Friday marks two years since Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered inside the Saudi consulate in the Turkish city of Istanbul. The 59-year-old Washington Post columnist was killed at the consulate on October 2, 2018, after he entered the premises to obtain paperwork for his planned marriage. His body, which Turkish officials say was dismembered by Saudi officers, has never been found. The Saudi government called the assassination a “rogue operation” after repeatedly denied any involvement in the incident for weeks. Activists and human rights groups have said the murder was premeditated and carried out upon the directive of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), the kingdom’s de facto ruler, a charge Riyadh denies. style="width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; top: 0; bottom: 0; right: 0; left: 0;">
