The head of a Canadian spy agency has listened to audio tapes related to the death of Jamal Khashoggi, and traveled to Turkey to discuss the matter.

David Vigneault, the director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, traveled to Turkey at the request of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, a spokesman for the agency said. Trudeau said in a news conference Monday that Canadian officials had listened to the audio tapes, but that he personally hadn’t.
