Turkey summons Saudi envoy over missing journalist
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleANKARA, Turkey — A Turkish official says the Saudi ambassador to Turkey has been summoned to the ministry for discussions over a Saudi journalist who disappeared after a visit to the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul.
The Foreign Ministry official says the ambassador was “invited” to the ministry on Thursday but doesn’t provide further detail. The official speaks on condition of anonymity in line with government rules.
Jamal Khashoggi, who has written Washington Post columns critical of the kingdom’s assertive crown prince, went missing on Tuesday.
Saudi Arabia’s consulate in Istanbul insists Thursday that Khashoggi left the building before disappearing, directly contradicting Turkish officials who say they believe the writer is still inside.
