telephone negotiations to

the investigation into the
Khashoggi affair.
Saudi Officials Visas
Reneged
The United States warned of
a “wide range” of responses
should it find out that Saudi
Arabia is behind the death of
journalist Jamal Khashoggi,
as Turkey widened its probe
into the scandal.
President Donald Trump
said the U.S., which is Saudi
Arabia’s biggest backer, could
impose sanctions over the
feared murder of Khashoggi.
The United States has
announced to renege visas of
Saudi officials allegedly active

in the killing of Khashoggi.
The Trump administration has
been notably slow to criticize
Saudi Arabia, despite mounting
indication that Khashoggi,
a critic of the Islamic petro-
state’s potent crown prince,
went missing after entering the
Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
The Khashoggi case has given
Trump with one of the most
acute foreign policy crises
of his nearly two-year-old
presidency.
The contention has
put the kingdom under
unprecedented pressure to
offer an explanation to take
the heat off its rulers.
The reports said the body
parts of slain journalist
Jamal Khashoggi were
found at the home of Saudi
consul general in Istanbul
and one of the sources said
the writer’s remains were
found in the garden of the
consul general’s home,
which is just 500 meters
away from the consulate.
