Journalist murdered inside consular office -- Saudi Arabia accept!

Saudi Arabia admits for the first time that Saudi Arabian journalist Jamal Khashoggi of America Washington Post newspaper has died as a result of a conflict that flared up within the Saudi Arabian consular office in Istanbul,Turkey which led to a great uproar all over the world recently on the assumption that he had disappeared. It was announced just a few hours ago over Saudi Arabia National Television as 'breaking news'. Though details were not mentioned as to how the conflict took place, it is published in the following manner: "An
argument erupted between him (Khashoggi) and others whom he met in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul leading to a fist fight which led to his death. The investigations are still underway and 18 Saudi nationals have been arrested".

As stated in their announcement, as a consequence of a clash which took place in the consulate with a group of persons whom he met, journalist Jamal Khashoggi has died and investigations are ongoing with 18 suspected persons being taken into custody. Based on this incident, it was also mentioned that duties of two senior state officials were suspended.

Saudi Arabian journalist Jamal Khashoggi has strongly criticised heir to the crown, prince Mohommed Bin Salmon and had been living away from Saudi Arabia. He encounters death at the time he visited Saudi Consulate office in Turkey to attend to some documentary work in connection with registering his marriage.

Before going there he has shown some fear because of threats he received for having criticised prince Salmon. Though there were CCTV clips entering the consulate office, attention of the whole world was focused on the fact that there were no records to notice him coming out. Video footage of an unknown group of people who had come to the consulate office that day removing his dead body in a black-coloured van was later found.

Even president Trump spoke about the disappearance of this journalist because the latter was attached to Washington Post newspaper and was living in America. This later turned into an incident which developed into a conflict between America and Saudi Arabia on an international level. Though Saudi Arabia had rejected this allegation from the start, they had begun investigations on the face of international pressure and they have had to admit that the journalist was murdered.

International political critics have sounded an alarm that a strong critic of Mohommed Bin Salmon, heir to the crown being murdered in this manner by violating human rights could lead to issues for Saudi Arabia in future. American president Donald Trump who identified this incident as a 'brutal murder' said that future action concerning Saudi would be taken by United States Congress.
