Authorities in Turkey believe a Saudi government critic who went missing after entering the kingdom’s consulate in Istanbul this week was killed there, a Turkish government official said on Sunday.
The comments by the official, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the issue, will likely inflame tensions between Turkey and the Saudi government, already at loggerheads over regional policy. A Saudi official denied the claim.
