- Story Text: Istanbul's Saudi consulate and the consul's residence appeared calm on Wednesday (October 17) morning as U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo held talks with Turkish officials in Ankara on the disappearance of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Khashoggi, a U.S. resident and a critic of the Saudi crown prince, vanished after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on Oct. 2. Turkish officials have said they believe the Saudi journalist was murdered and his body removed, which the Saudis have strongly denied.
Turkish officials have told Reuters that authorities have an audio recording indicating that Khashoggi was killed in the consulate, and have shared evidence with countries including Saudi Arabia and the United States.
Turkish police was yet to search the Saudi consul's Istanbul residence on Wednesday, a day after the search was called off because Saudi officials were not able to join. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
