The Turkish government has told U.S. officials it has audio and video recordings that prove columnist Jamal Khashoggi was killed inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul this month, the Washington Post reported, citing unidentified U.S. and Turkish officials.
Recordings show a Saudi security team detained Khashoggi -- a contributor to the Washington Post -- in the consulate before killing him and dismembering his body, the Post reported. The well-known former Saudi insider had walked into the consulate on Oct. 2 to obtain an official document before his upcoming wedding and hasn’t been seen since.
