The US continues threatening Saudi about the disappearance of Saudi reporter Jamal Khashoggi. He was last seen on Oct. 2 going into the Saudi consulate. Killing by the Saudi government is rumored. Turkey and Saudi are jointly investigating, although Turk officials said it seems only a disillusion of cooperation. Turkey says they have proof Kashoggi died in the building, including recordings of what happened in the consulate. According to Saudi officials, even if the US fulfilled their threats, Saudi’s government would be able to continue. Turkey sent a group into the consulate on Oct. 15, thirteen days after his disappearance. He entered the consulate to pick up divorce papers so that he could marry his fiance, Hatice Cengiz, who was waiting outside the building for hours. Cengiz and Khashoggi planned to be married on the 3rd, the day after he disappeared. The team investigating the consulate stayed for hours and said evidence of newly painted walls was found and suspected as a cover-up for evidence. Cleaners were seen entering the building before the Turkey team went in, the first investigators to enter after his disappearance, thirteen days before. A unanimous Saudi official said that the Saudi government would blame it on rouge killers. Surely enough on the 22nd headlines blazed “Saudi blames killing on ‘rogue operation'” in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Turkey spoke of plans to investigate nearby consulate buildings which were repainted as well.
