Khashoggi murdered in Istanbul
October 2, 2018
The Saudi journalist and Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi entered his country's consulate in Istanbul to collect papers for his upcoming wedding and never came out. A fifteen-man hit team had flown in that morning from Riyadh carrying a bone saw and sedatives. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman denied involvement, then admitted some, then suffered no real consequences.
